It was with a fe e ling of profound sa dn e s s , :rnd f1dl consciousness of ou1· los s , tbat \Ye noterl the absence of "Uncle William" when we earne bac k to s c h oo l las t fall.

" As janitor of the seh oo l he p <.! rformed lii s d11ti es faithfully and with a cheerfulnesa that won for liim the highes t regard and a warm pla Ge in our h ea rt s . Although no fault ca n b e found with our pr ese llt janitor, we mis s "Uncle \Villiam" and his thou sa u<l little peculiarities whi c h so e nd e are d him to u s . Hi s short, pithy sayings, bi s small talk, and, at ti me s, bis amusingly learned dissertation s on the deepest questions of polities and eeonomics were all told with the indefinable charm that is the Qift of tlie old-time "darkey" alone. Upon him natu;e had uestow e cl that prieeless gift of hers-the art of s tory-telling, and now I can remember the many times I have li s tened to liim as be told stories of the Civil \Var-be took part in it -that had a decided tendency to raise one's hair, or, when he was in a ligLter mood, bi s funny stories liacl the effeet of convulsing bis aurlitors. True to the instincts of hi s race, he 11acl a strong faith in his Maker and believed that Goel was tlie source of all good. He lived aceording to hii:; faitli. It is not our object in writing this to have a written record of his faithfulnes s to remember him by, for we can never forget him ; but we wish to show 011r appre. ciation and regard for him in some way, so we dedi ca te thi s page of our Annual to th e memory of 0111' old friend, "Uncle William."

JI O \\"ATIJJ LA::\IBFitT . l 'n<'I �Junior (tlass 1bistor~ ~NCE more I a m ca lled upon to make known to the world tb e deeds of the ~ mo st famous class that Salem High School has ever been houorcd to h ave. But, alas for me! I feel that I arn unworthy the honor of Leingcalled the hiRtorian of such a grand class; but ye t, I will endeavor to do my best antl not to di sg race my class. Thi s famous collection of eleven of the most rema rkabl e boys and girls ever joined together as classmates is the cream skimmed from a clas:s of twenty-eight or thirty rats who entered Sa le m High 8chool in urns. Of course, you know, when milk is skimmed all of the c ream cannot be taken off ; we al ways get a little " Blue J o\Jn. " Well, th at is why this is such a remark alile cl:-\ss. All other classes h a ve b ee n e ither all di s tinguisberl pupils or all poor pupil s. Now, thi s class belongs to neith e r of the above varieties, but it is ju s t a class composed of pupils of good co mmon sense. Other classes have had such unu s ual ability(their abil ity may have been great or small) that th ey were not unu s ual classes; but this is a c lass of plain, eve ry-d ay ah ility. Now, it is unu s ual to see a class so far advanced in lea rnin g having just plain ability; and, th e refore, thiR is a remarkable and unusual c lass. But, please bea r in mind I am not say ing th a t th e m embers a re not talented (for the membe rs are talented, each h av ing his talent for a spec ial thing), but I a m taking the class as a whole. As rats, we were not one bit fresh ; we were jn st plain, s imple r a ts. We bore the scorching whi c h Miss Hann a h gave us like Spartan s, a nd we bore lik e tortures with lik e courage; a nd in th e end we came out all right. Now, as Sop homores, we were rem a rk ab le ; we \Vere not proud and haughty, as mos t So phomores are wont to be, but we ever k ept o ur calm a nd dignitietl manner with us. W e , as Sophomo res, gained lL good deal of popul a rit y, a nd thi s popul ar ity bas st nck ton s unto thi s day. Anrl now we are Juniors, and, I think, we are worthy of the 11am e. \Ve may l1 ave done thing s whi c h we ongbt not to have done, but I hope we have done more tl1i11 gs which a ri:i a c red it to us. I a m n ot boastin g of g reat d eeds we have done as rats and So1-1homores a re wont to d o, for, I think, if we hav e don e anyth in g wonderfu l, and I hope we hav e, the world will know of it soo u e nough, withont it being b erald erl by our own pens and months; and th e w urld will give us a ll th e prai se we deserve. And now, I hope that when we become Seniors we will be a e rect it to tbe High School, anct I hope tb a t it shall nev e r have ea use to be asha med of this r emar kab le J.

And upu11 the day dt!crecd th e so ns of men ca me t o the Palaee of Hi-Skule; 111 mighty numbers did the y come, eac h bearing the e nsi g n of bi s tribe U]JOn bis helm e t. And a m ong them, a ll the sons of m en who wore the ensig n " 11 " walked the proud est, and we re lo oked upon b y all as mighty m en of valor. Now , it b ad a lw ays b ee u th e c us tom a t the Palace of Hi-Skule to have the -mighty kings r a n ge d in their order; but thi s day a stranger sat upon th e tbro11 e of Great Queen J onesephat. On tl1e third clay of the co n g rega tion of Hi-Skulites, a m essenge r came t ellin g th a t Queen Jon ese ph at h ad b ee n so rely wounded in a b attle again st the Bedfordites. Great were th e lamentation s of the sons of men at thi s sad n ews, m au y wra ppin g th e m se lves in saekcloth and eating ashes. But the mind s of the Hi-Skulit es were soo n turn ed from t he sore wounding of ·Queen J 011esepbat to the eoming iu of a n ew tribe. This new tribe was called th e vVbratts. A most mon grel tribe was this tribe, made up of both l a rge and small, mighty and puny ; but a ll were of th e same ·verdant hue. But of all the tribe of \Vhratts tl1ere were none like unto the othe r tribes of Hi-Skulites. Th e tribes of '11, '12 anrl '1 3 would not so mu ch as look upon the Wbratts, saying that they were unworthy of the noti ce of the Hi-Skulites. And it furthermore eame to pass that Qneeu Johanna ruled in those days, in the stead of Queen Jonesepbat did she rule with a pow erful band . And had it not been that tho se days were s h o rte ned b y some goorlness, all of the so ns of men would hav e peri s he d . But Queen Jone sep hat was b e held com in g in th e di st ance . Th en did swift runners go to meet h e r, bowing tbe1r faces t o the dust, and e ry in g, "Oh, Queen J onesep hat, your r eturu is lif e to u s, for in th y absence we have been ve ry much -oppresse d. '' Th e n Q ueen Jon esep hat wa s lift ed into the Palace of 1-li-Skule. - ~ ND �And then did she rule with diligence and equity, to the down fall of the s trange Queen and of all others. And to this day does she rule the 1-li-S kulites and there is peace throughout all the land, world without Pnd, a-woman. CHAPTER II . And furthermore, it came to pass in the reign of Queen J onesephat th at a . band was formed among the Hi-Skulites. This band was called the Lie- see- um ;. and it was decreed that when the sun had chased the moon around the earth threesco re times, that then should a new se t of chiefs be set over the Lie-see-um, The chief of all these was the Chief High Dog, who sat at the table with the Scratcl1in,g· Dog, who kept the names of the Lie-:-:ee- umite s. Then there were others ap-· pointed by the High Dog; these were called Pupp-Growleys. Now the dutie s of th e Pupp-Growleys were to name the Lie-see-nmites who should dance aud makemu sick at their meetings. Al so, it was the duty of Queen Johanna to Rct aside the choice of the P11ppGrowleys and make her own choice s upreme in all matters. Thu s, iu time, it came to pass that the realm of the Lie-see- um came to be considered as the· rightful portion of Queen J uhanna. And in those days did all the powerful rulers govern their domain s , Queen Jonese pbat ruled over the Hi-Skulites, Queen Johanna over the Li - see-umites,. and Princess Maxeyoverthe lower kingdom, Chernistritus, of powerful mixtures , horrible fumes and curiously fashioned ve F.se ls.

This class was very happy and ambition was written across the faee of e::ich member and if lo o ks foretold anything, th el:!e boys a nd girls were destined to fill important places in th e future history of our co untry. I might as well say now that the class mentioned above was one which had thirty members and the present Seniors of the Salem Iligh School were formerly members of that ambitious class and th e events chronicled below were so closely co nnected with us, the present Seniors, that we will call them 011r class hi sto ry. As I have said before we were very ambitious and hopeful, but as soo n as Miss Jones gave us a few looks that meant "Why haven't yo11 got all of your alge hra worked?" and Miss Hannah had delivered a few breath less lect n res on the b ean ties of our native t ong ue, our tern perat u re fell ab on t ten degre es a nd fifty-two rninntes and we might !J ave left th e earth altogether had not a guardian angel in the form of Miss ~l cCou k ey been se nt to watch over us. lier fond ca ress has enli vened ou r FpiritR many time s when we were delinquent in "Math" o r b:11glillh. She won our love that year and has k ep t it eve r s ince. A new addition was being made to the edifice commonly called the High Schoo l Building and the r ac ket caused by the saws a nd hammers k ept 11 s from going to ..i leep during the hi sto ry re citati on, while an occasional brick-uat or scantling falling on our heads served to remind us that Latin, <•M a th" and Hi s tory had not taken all the life out of us. In February a welcome addition was made to our claHs in the form of Miss Carli sle, and a lth ough she caused a littl e strife among certain members of the class she has al ways been a valuable classmate. . ~hen the fi11al exa~s. were over we founq. that many of our class had <list1ngu1 s hed thc-,m se lves h1ghly 1 .se vernl havi 11 g gained first houors a nd made hundreds ou Mathematics. . O i:r So phomore yea r was very pleasant in some ways and in some ways it was 0 11r class prnved itself to be the mo st popular in the school and it has retained that po pul a rity eve r Rinr e. We were honored by h av in g Rix of 011r members mad e officers in the Lyceum during the vear a nd our members s howc>d conl:l id e rabl e ability in this line of work, but we seemed to be somew hat s low in procu ri ng a knowledge of th e elements of Rhetoric aud History. Thiti d eliuqu e ucy n u~. �caused us t o get man y sco ldings fr om Miss Armstrong whose lov e for Euglisb could not be app re cia ted by us. \'\' hen a ny excitement was to b e ra isP.d ou1· boys were always ready to do their share in µromoting it. When the fir'lt d ay of April rolled around we concocted a plot to ring the fir e bell. Th e plot was carried out s uccess fully a nd q11ite a disturb a nce was created, but as we h ad no regul ar Echool that day we got off without µunishrncnt. Thi s was th e yea r when o ur class h ad the "Big Six" b oys and they were worthy of th e n ame even if "Midget" Denit was in the bunch. \Vh eu th e fin al exa ms. we re ove r and we had become Juniors, the Seniors placed their ban n e r of ro yal µnrple a nd go ld uµon th e fl ag p o le of th e building. As soo n as 0 11r eagle eyes perceived it we promptly climbed th e pole, took tbe rag d o wn and in it s µlace we put th e glorions fi ag of blue a nd white of th e Juniors. Th e nex t day a high er power ordered the janitor to cut i t down. Thi s ev0nt e nd ed o ur Sophomore year. As .Juni o rs we showed d ec id ed imprvv e meat in ma ny ways although some of our most importa nt me mbers had left us and ou r numbers wer" reduce d to t e n. But thi s t e n diri exce llent work aud our Latin a nd "~lath" grades were a c redi t to us.

We've fo ught the ancient tribeR of Gau l, We've see n their conquere d banners fall Beneath g rea t Caesa r's bands; We've crossed th e Alps to ltaly Wi th our L ord of hi g h degree, And heard him cry, ••Et tu Brute'' W hen slain by traitors' hauds.

While we were grieved over the loss sustainer], we were glad to weleom e into our mid s t several new elass m ates. As Fl'eshmen, we had not heen hazed because of stl'ength of numbers. Believing hazing to b e detrimental to school spirit, we, as Sophomores, decided to abolish it at ~alem High School. We entered quickly into our school life, and were irnon settled quietly in our new room. Here we find that we have beeome more interested in o ur st udies, and enjoy(?) thoroughly Caesar's own account of bis Gallic Wars. We s hak e hands again with 011r o ld friends "Billy" Shakespeare, Scott, Poe, Longfellow and \Vbittier, b11t this time 11ncler the skil lful g11idance of Mi ss Armstrong. Here also, we meet Physics, witli all its pitfalls for the feet of the unwary student, a ud Miss McConkey introduces 11s into the mysteries of laLratory work. Obstacles beset our path, hut with a s mile on our lips, and ou r motto, jVitlla Victoria Sine L aboi·e, ever before us, these have been overcome. The Class of '14 has a lways heen among the firs t in every phase of sc ho ol life. \\'hen the schol a rship medal was µr esen ted at the Commencement exercisl:rs in June, 19 I I, it was a rnem ber of 011 r el ass who received it. Several members of the class i-ec-eived distinctiou s, a nd the work done this session p ro mises additional honors iu June. Out' class has been re prese nted on both football and baseball teams. In the Lyceum, the members of the Sophomore class have d one we ll in reeitation, decfamation, music ancl dehate. Ou t' day in the litera ry socie ty was one of the beet meetings of the year. T\\'O members of our class bad th e honor of being on the fil'st extemporaneous d e Late ever held in the Lyceum, and which visitors said would have done honor to any co llege soc iety . A goodly numbe r of our elass are members of the Dramatic C luh, and several play lea ding part s. The members of the Cla'3s of 1914 have plenty of class and seboo l spirit. Almns t every member of the class has a L yce um µin, and a number have ordered annuals. Tbe Class of Fourteen baR, of eou rse, mad e mi s tak es durin g the two yea rs of it s history. For tl1e se mi stakes we are trnly so rry . Diseretion come~ with yea rs, and our mistak es become fewer as time goes on.

During th e year o ur l'Oll has decreased from fo rt y-five to thil'ty- six . So me left us t o become co-Clh• at Roanoke Coll ege. Five of our Vinton clas.imat P.s returned t o th a t c ity where a High School was st a r ted for their benefit. During the first few weeks we were iotrodueed to several stran ge rs, Rhetoric, A lgebra and Latiu, whom we n ow lo ok upon as faitbfitl co mp anions. \Vh a t Freshman can ever forget hi s first month of High School work? Rh eto ri c at first was fine. A il ignorant were we of th e fae t that soon we would have pages to Wl'ite in chasi ng the stag ove r hill a nd valley or in writing Rk etch es of the s tl'ongest ch aracte r in a book with a " why" t or every statemen t. We will spare you our Latia and A lgebra wai ls - confi dent, as we a l'e, that th e very sig ht or soun d of the se two words will wi n for us the sympathy of eve;·y one who bas eve r been a Freshman . Early in 0 11r new caree r we learned that Hi s tory was no longer to be to ns a story of the deeds of our fathers a nd grau d-tatbe rs, but the d eeds of a nc ient heroe s-men whose nam es have changed in our minds from myth and leg end to cha racters of the living p resent. But fo r th e new ti ess of it all we have spe nt a calm and pea<·.efu l wi nte r-no real exci tem ent. Of co urse we a re "rats" to th e Sophs , "freshies" t o th e Juniol'S and "the chi ldren in th e Fi rst C lass" t o the Scniol's ; uut with all this we have found in the upper classes a wi ll ing ness to h elp OI' advise the Fres hm e n. We have learned, too, that they a re not as we had hea rd, "ereatul'el:l to be d read ed." Probably thu s becau se we bave n ot taken the libert y of ad o rning our class room wall s with ou r banne r o r of having a "Freshman ce lebrat ion" of a n y kind. Some day, however, we hope to see the wall s o f the commencemen t hall hung with maroon and go ld when we s hall realize that ou r happ ies t days hav e been sµent in the four yea rs climbing "Through Diffi culty to the Sta rs."

So, farewe ll! l �A lltisit to an Anrien t 1tfigq srqool J'~NE afternoon while out walking ''ith my on ly boy c lass mate, we ca me to a ~ cave in the side of a very steep bluff. It presented a very strange appearance and it look ed as if no one bad been in or even ne a r it very re cen tl y. We d ec icled to explore it and se t to work getting so me pine s ti c k s for torches. Havin g prepared the torches we entered and began otir work. At first the cave was about e ight feet high, six feet wid e and extremely r o ug h with projecting rocks. It continued this way for about seve nty-five feet, then it hcca me small sudden ly a nd only a tunnel about two feet in di amete r was left. At first we hesit a ted whether to go on or not. Finally we decided to proceed. vVe crawled into the tunnel, which was about fifte en feet lo ng, and when we reac hed the end we found ourselves in a spacious room having a smoo th s t o ne floor. Tbe cLamber was very regular shaped and a rongh sy mm et ry was observed in tLe s hape size and pos ition (,f the roc k s which formed the wall s. We sa t down to study th e chamber and to rest ourselves. J L!1' t a few seconds had passed when our li g htA ~eerned to grow dim a lth oug h the flame did not seem to decrease. Th e n a haze seemed to s lowl y till th e c ha rnber and m y c lassma t e, who was sitting about ten feet from me, slowl y vanished, hi s fo rm being enve lo ped in the haze. Then all became ve ry dark and I co uld scar ce ly see m y t o r ch, which was fast going out. It see med a lm os t gone a nd I was in total darkness, wh e n it grad uall y b ega n to burn again. It g rew brighter a nd bri g ht er until I cou l d see q uite we ll. The haze vanished l:l low ly aud everything looked bright in th e light s hed by th e eve rgrowing tl a me of m y torch. But my co mpani o n was no lo nge r with me . He had disappeared and in stead of th e s m oo th fl oo r whi ch I had see n a few minute s ago, I saw a vast a n1pithc a t e r s tretch ed out b efo re me a nd I found m yse lf s itti ng on a ~ shelf of rock from which I co uld overlook th e ampitheate r . In the s tru cture there were t e n r o ug h stone eo lnmn s, each be in g about five or tall. These were arran ge d in sys te matic order a nd befo r e a ll of th ese stood feet ix s r anoth e co lumn abo ut the sa me h e ight as tb e others but it \Y as a half la r ge r. This was very s trange to see these i,;ton es in s uc h an o rd erly pos iti on and I sat th er e a nd look ed at the sight very elo se ly. A s I sat there and loo k ed I saw th e Atone column s m ove sli gh tl y and th e 11 th e r e came a very s low change over them. Th ey began t o slow ly but surely take th e sbaµc of hum a n b eings and fin a lly my eyes behe ld ten yo un g peopl e perfect in form, eight of whi ch were girls and th e other two we r e boys. They were attired �-- - - - - - - - - -- -- - - in ancient Greek costumes and at their head s tood a sage, very s tout anrl wi se looking. A faint rumblillg sound reached my ears a nd then I µerceived the youngste rs to draw them se lv es up in a single line with a boy at each encl. I heard another rumbl e and they began to execute various difficult drills with great precision , but when a pupil, for such th ey seemed to be, executed a motion that was not in uuion with tbe general motion of the line a loud crash was bearcl which resemble d a peal of thllnd er. Then th e face of the sage woulcl darken a nd the pupil ~ would tremble, but soo n all went on again as s111oothly as ever. Many very peculiar drills were performe d thus, and us ually with great preci sion. This drill was kept up for more than thirty minutes and wben it was over with all see med pleased, even to the old sage. He seemed to want preci Aiou and steacliness of movemen t. Tile motions being made with firm jerky moveme nt s and with little grace. . . As soon as tn ese exercises were vver with, th e old master le ft the room and he was no soo n e r gone than th e room was filled witb wild confusio n. There was a perfect baLble througho ut the chamber and m11ch confusio n was pres e nt. But presently another sage came in. I-le was very s tern hut did not see m to have the prestige a nd power of the first. As soo n as he entered the confusio n cease d and I h eard a noise lik e the clatterin~ of hoofs and the panting of horses . Immedi· a te lv th e pupils began to drill again, in ve ry much the sa me mauner as before cxc;pt that th e re was much more g race in the moveme nt and ti.JP. motions we re vc>ry rapid. All see med t o be in a hurry and a great. number of drills were executecl . Some were so rapid that mi stakeR could not be noticed verv well. A certaio uniform time was taken for eac h drill and tioally wben the tim~ \\'as up tlie sage seellled very mu ch disappoi nted and left the room in no pl easa nt hum o r. He had Fcarcely departed wh en a female sage entered. Iler form was the most heautiful I have ever look ed up on. There was grace a nd beauty in e ve ry moveme nt s h e made. He r face was exquisite ly chi se led and a faint but m os t pleasing sm il e played on her countena nce and her very a ir was s uggestiv e of Ven11R, and although she was ex tr_eme ly swee t and gracious in he r man~ ~ r, yet det erminati on aod integ rity was plainly written on her love lv co untenanc e As 1rnon as sh .~ r ul e red the wh o le atm?sphe re danged. a1Jd a so ft go.Iden li g ht filled tbe c ha m be r a nd_ I hea rd a_ sou_nd w hich so unde cl like the babblin g noi se of a b rook as it runs gu rg li ng a nd tnckling tbrou g b grassy m ea dow s and verdant rlell R. Then the pupils began th e drill s once more, but they see med so differellt from the form~r drills. T~ere \~ as grace a n~ beai_ity in eve ry mov e th ey m ad e and tl1 e ir movem e nts kept time with soft music which see med to be comina from the air a r o1111d the chamber . I think I have never hea rd before o r s in ee"'s uc h d eli c io us mu sic as µervad ed that room. It was com posed o f a se ri es of Leautifii l wa ltzes th e fir ~ t of which was s ta r ted on an ex treme ly hi g h note and th en th e succeedi ng �oneR grad11ally lowered nntil tLey reached a low bass. It was very low, yet very distinct and I was lield spell-bound while it was µlayed. Every drill executed in time to the music was perfect and not a single move was in disunion with others and all the particiµant s seemed extrer1ely happy. Tbeir countenances were radiant with a supreme joy wbi ch seemed to pervade them all. At length the time was up, the drill ceased, and all took their regular order. The fair mi s tress departed and once more confusion reigned. Noises were beard which sounded like an approaL:hing storm. The "inds blew and peals of tbundcr shook th e atmosµhere but the cvnfu s ion did not cease. Stoues were pulled from the walls and hurled about and it looked as if the wbole place would be destroyed. At length a peal of thunder much stronger than any previou s oue shook tbe air. Then the pupils seated themselves quickly and order prevailed. The three sages entered and took seats in front of the J.!llpils and once more the cl ri 11 s Legan. Th is ti me I noticed nrnch more perfec tion in tLe performance and everyone seemed greatly please d. Then all µres en t filed out and I was left aloue. to barow dark and ;:,aloomy and soo n I found As soon as they left it beaan .=:•~Y se l f in total c1arkuess. Thi s last ed only a few minutes and th en a stea m of s ilv e r light s hot from the tto o r ahead of me and illumination tbu s produced w:is inte n se and tlazzled rny eyes. At le ngt h it changed to a glow and became very Eoft and extremely pleasa nt to the eye. A s I watched I saw in this li a ht the dim outline of a hn ge marbl e buildin g the front of which was perfected ~f Co rinthi an arehitecture. Thi s out line slow ly ueca rne clearer and clearer until it s tood out in co ntrast with the clear s ky, for during the la st p e riod of darkness the ampitheater had di sappea red and now a plain was s tretelted out before m e antl on thi s th e great 111 a rbl e building st ood. Soon the silver light b ega n to die away but at tbe same time tbe moon cou ld b e see n corning up over a grove of trees. Th e i;ight wh ic h then met my gaze \l" ill n e ver. be forgotten. The moonlight was very bright and as it fell on the plane I p:rce 1ved a great many people advancing from what I first th o nght was a rock! hill but which now prov ed to be a city. The mu sic of th e lyre was wafted to au ncular organ aud a g rea t co nc o urse was singing a most beautiful song whi ch told of many hero es who it seemed had participated in a receut war. 1 The concourse proceeded to the mag uificent marble edifice and began t o po .1r into its three entrances. In a few minutes all ha<l di sa ppearerl within and th e pla111 was vacant. Th e n I jumped from my seat and ran with all hast e towarJ the hall. When I was within a hundred or so meters of it I checked my sµeed and advanced to the portals very ca utiously. I tiptoed alona until I was within ten feet of the entrance. There I stopped for I could see all ~bat was within very plainly. �It was a maa n ifi ce nt s iah t. Tbe who le inte rior was aho 0 ·1t two h 1111 drc d fe e t lon a and one bun drec i feet" ' wid e.

As she came towards th e house she turned and looked down upon the chestnut tree s in the littl e va ll ey, whi c h were moving in the bree:r.e and from a distance bad a soft feathery appearance as they swayed in uni son . Soft ly she murmured to herself, "Ob , if I cou ld jes' be a fairy, and sail out ove r the valley and walk along in th e tree tops and talk witb the birds and squirrels and never come back."

Faintly from which cont iuu ous ly chanaed and wroucrht 0 "' cow bells, and looking below be r s h e saw the depths of b e low came the tink lin g of tl~e valley becoming shadowy, while above, the slopes of th e mountains were k111dl ed by th e g low and g lo ry of the rlying day. ID 4 �Liney stood there upon this eminence in tbe evening breeze of the 111011ntain s . Her waving brown loc ks were fitfully bluwu abo11t her n eck aml sho11lders and were them selves made lumino11!'> as the departing s 11nlight fcll 11p o n their s hadowy co ils. Slowly the sun sank, leaving the sky yet golden in the glory of its far e \1· e ll.

Now the sun had sunk behind the mountaiu s and she t11rned and Hell in the direction of the sou nd of the cow bells ancl drove th e cows homeward. After the evening task s were finished and her plain repast eaten, she uetook herself to her little attic room. Its walls were whitewashed and for its ceiliug it bad the ro11gh shingle roof. In one corner stoorl her bed and 11po11 a rncle table in the eentre of the room were her few treasures,-a few sehool books , some d e licate shells found in the brook, a pretty glaRs bottle wbieb bad o nce held perf11me, and a jar of wild f:low er s. Denied the light of a candle she undresoed by the light of the moon and then eaQ:erly sought the cord about lier neek whieh held her most cherished po ssessio ns. Un loosing the kn ot she ope11ed a little gingham hag, whieb lay 11po:: her breast , and took therefrom her wealth which consisted of a little gold band, m11cb worn and two little pieces of closely folded paper. The first of tbefle had Leen th e sea l of her mother and father's wedding and remained as the only t;rngihl e m e mory of li e r parent s ancl early childhood.

" When she reached home sbe went quickly to her little attic room and bid her treas ure. Swiftly the months of summer glided by and she confided h e r secret t:o her former school teacher and together they planned and toil ed so th at at th e close of summe r she was s 11pplied with suitable clothes and everything whi c h was necessary for her college life. It was now her last night in tbe littl e mountain home among those sce ne s so dear and those haunts so familiar by association. She stood once more by her window in the moonlight, and looking out over tbe scene below her s h e sa id, "l love you all, trees and rock s and brooks. I am goin,g to leave you but some d ay I s hall come again to see your familiar shapes. For what you have taught m e I am grateful." Then liftiug her a rms toward th e moon of harvest and fruition, and said , "l thank thee for thy help in the past; continue to be my guide," and clos:ng her cu rtains she retired t o her rud e cot to dream of a happier futur e.

She was a .d14,h. steamed· mto the unknown waters splen d1 s 1p, carr;-•mg a crew of fifty brave "tars," and from her mast proudly floated a banner of maroon anci black. The vessel's mission was t 0 capture "Fort Knowledge," and to this end she directed her energies. W THE FIRST FIGHT "Class of '14's" first commander was Captain Annie McConkey (this is the day of suffragettes) and her first conflict was with the gunboat "Latin." In this engagement the victory was doubtful, and mnre success was won in the attacks on "The Rhetoric" and " The Algebra." At the end of the first year, under the skillful guidance of her leader, "Class of '14" had won a hi gh place in the H. S. Navy. SECOND STRUGGLE The fort still remained impregnable under the sheltering protection of "The Latin," a larger and more formidable vessel than that engaged with in the first fight, and "The Physics," a new torpedo boat. "Class of '14" had changed commanders and now obeyed the orders of Commodore Armstrong. The new commander proved herself a skillful officer and the banner of maroon and black floated proudly in the breeze at the conclusion of the second year. THIRD BATTLE "Class of '14" still retained her gallant commander, now promoted to the rank of "Admiral." A formidable vessel, " The Geometry," had made its appearance upon the scene of the conflict and the gallant "tars," reduced in number, found her a warlike enemy. " The English" had also taken a more aggressive stand, but "Class of '14" did not " strike her colors." As in the two previous assaults upon "Fort Knowledg·e," the gallant ship made a brave showing, and her "jackies" braced themselves for the final struggle. TRIUMPH Rear Admiral Jones now held chief command on the gallant ship. Opposing "Class of '14" was the flagship, "English," and a new arrival upon the scene, "The Trig," a powerful opponent. Less formidable, but none the less dangerous were ''The French, '' ''The Mneid, '' and ''The History. '' �All of these vessels made a gallant resistance but "Class of '14," with her faithful aids, "The Perseverance," "Hard work" and the "I Will, " was slowly and surely conquering. The final struggle was brief, and soon from "Fort Knowledge" floated the white flag of submission. Perhaps no more successful assault was ever made by any ship upon any fort than that made by "Class of '14" upon "Fort Knowledge" and may her "jackies" ever remember her motto: "Nulla Victoria Sine Labore."

POETE SS. �§nm~ 1J1uturity §nup /tJ\NE day I was wandering through a large forest. As I walked along, plunged in deep thought, and not noticing my whereabouts, I heard a queer song. Who could be singing such an odd song in a spot so secluded? After advancing about thirty feet to the right, I came upon a small opening about which there was much undergrowth and many small trees. Here, in this cleared spot, I found the source of the song. Three wretched old women were singing as they walked, with tottering steps, around a huge pot. suspended by two forked sticks stuck in the ground, and one across these, over a roaring fire. The whole thing impressed me as being rather strange, and so I remained concealed and listened . This is what I heard of the song: W Round about the caldron go; In the prophesying elements throw. Many books, that under cold thought, On which days and nights were spent(?) in aught. Add that history; sure of that literature make, Throw in that Virgil for goodness sake! To this add a big-eyed chick, And stir it with a whiffle stick. What could all of this mean? 1 was determined to find out at all hazards. I stepped into the clearing. The witches suddenly put a stop to their antics and cast scrutinizing glances upon me. Finally the leader, a wizened creature, said in a shrill voice: "What do you want?" I told her that it was really nothing to her what I wanted, but that I was rather tired and hungry (as usual). Then, giving me a grisly smile, she invited me to have some soup. "What kind of soup is that, anyway?" I asked, remembering what a lot of junk had been dumped into the caldron. ''That is 'futurity soup,' '' she answered, ''and anyone who drinks thereof is able to look into the future." What a novelty that would be! I determined to try the soup, and to see what the future held in store for the ''superlative seventeen," even if I had to take up my abode with Pluto. So she gave me a cup of the liquid. "Say," I asked, "is there any antidote for this?" "Ha, ha, " she laughed, "you won't need any antidote, but an ounce of �~wee~ spirits of nitre, mixed with a little prune extract and nutmeg gratmg, 1s very good." So, in an inkling, the soup had gently rippled down my esophagus! In an instant all was dark; like things look when I miss my English or Latin or when I have not prepared my "Trig." A voice at my elbow: "Fear not, I am with thee!" My pompadour never stood up better in all my life. "Well, prepare for the future," she continued. I gasped. Ecce! Before my eyes appeared a cat. Its eyes were each as big as a halfdollar (you can imagine how large they looked to me). Ecce! again. The whole cat dissolved into one huge eye! "Say, did you study chemistry under Prof. Annie Mac.?" I asked her. No answer. I could see S. H. S. written on the cat's eye, and through this I looked into the future. "What is Marion doing now, anyway?" I asked. " Marion, " - she spilt a laugh as she spoke- , "has retired to the realms of old-maidendom." "Well now, that's funny," I answered. "How did it happen?" I remembered what a shy and cunning lass Marion was. ''Why, she fooled so many fellows, that it was too late ·when she found her mistake. You know- 'Vari um et mutabile semper femina.' " Yes, I knew it. No matter if I did hate Virgil so, I gave him credit for voicing one great truth. Marion appeared in the glass (for the cat's eye had turned into a clear g lass), sitting in the corner darning (get the right sense of the word) , and holding a large yellow cat in her lap. Her mouth was full of pickle. "There is one more resigned to the same fate as Marion, " she said, ''Dorcas." ''Poor girl,'' I echoed. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" "Why lau gh, thou fearful and wizened individual?" "Look into the glass," she answered. I forgave her for laughing. There was a great feminine mob. Some were chewing tobacco and some were smoking, but all were cheering. Fully two-thirds hoisted huge banners with ''Votes for Women, '' and ''Down with the Men,'' written on them in bold, red letters. But wait. To come the worst is yet! In the foreground w~s a raised platform. Upon this, Lucile rose in queenlike majesty, following in whose footsteps came Annie and Fitzhugh, each carrying a basket of bombs! Lucile harangued the mob, while Fitzhugh and Annie stood by ready to throw bombs at anyone who disagreed with her. "No place for a minister' s son," I remarked. �"No place for any son," the weird sister answered. But gentle reader, why dwell any longer on a subject so distasteful and unpleasant to the male of the species? Women will have their rights(?) and the poor, hen-pecked man will have to do the sewing, cooking, washing, etc. So, aroint thee, thou cruel suffragettes! "All right," said my companion, "Bill Fretz is doing a good business of his own, and is also helping the undertakers.'' "How's that?" . "Well, he prospered as a druggist, and now owns a huge pill factory." ''And how about Rush?'' ''He is a business man also, as well as most all of the other boys of your class,'' she replied, ''and, in his spare time, he composes the latest songs. Among his most popular ones are, 'Does An Incubator Chicken Love Its Mother?' and 'Mother Feeds Onions to the Baby so She Can Find Him in the Dark.' '' "And Moyer?" I asked. "Moyer has become a famous inventor and his work accomplished for humanity will remain fresh in the hearts of people for ages to come. He is the first person to invent a perpetual motion machine. This machine will run twenty-three hours and can be used for most anything- that is, while in working order. His machine for seeding prunes is the work of a genius, and his clever device for utilizing the hole about which a doughnut is made has revolutionized the doughnut industry in this country. Much that was formerly wasted is now saved. Jesse pursued a brilliant course at college and is now the professor of the Bingville High School. Jolly, good-natured Howard Starkey has made a fortune in the meat business, and now owns a large packing house, and- " "And how about Earl?'' I interrupted. "Why, he's a preacher!" "Good night!" I gasped. "And the rest of the girls" - she resumed. " Yes, tell me about them," I interrupted again. "That is Julia, Hattie, Mary, Susie, and Lula are living the most inspiring, most beautiful, and happiest lives of all, that is- ''' " Well, go on," I interrupted impatiently. " They are living the married life!" " Aw' shucks!" I mumbled in deep disgust. " Don't you agree with me?" she asked in an attempted sweet voice. "Don't get mushy!" was my answer, and then I asked her what fate was reserved for me. No answer. Everything was polluted with Stygian �darkness! Was the condition of the atmosphere symbolic of my future? I hope not! I was about to- ah! I awoke, and 'twas only a dream! PROPHET, "Don't go to the door Mamie, it's not a boy."

There was an indefinable air. about this class which marked it as destined to surpass, in every way, any class that had ever preceded it or should succeed it in the years to come. We (for the writer has the unusual honor of being a member of this class) soon won the hearts of each member of the faculty by the genius which we displayed in every phase of school life. Mathematicians, writers, Latin scholars, orators, debaters, readers, musicians, and, in fact, representatives of every art and science, proved their ability and brought glory to themselves and honor to their class. But, with the sound sense that has characterized this class throughout the whole period of High School life, we realized that proficiency in studies alone would not make of us a united class with each member working for something higher and nobler th~n selfglory. To this end, we called a pow wow or class meeting and proceeded to weld into a homogeneous mass the various components of our class. We first proceded to elect officers and in this we showed our usual good sense as you will see by the personnel of our staff of officers. They are - but why enumerate them? Their names will all be written on tablets of fame, where the world may read and ponder. We then chose as our class flower, one typical of the fair ones of our class; namely, the American Beauty Rose. What more significant emblem could we have chosen? Some classes choose their colors for their beauty, and some for their distinctiveness, but, while ours are characterized bY, both, we chose colors that are emblematic of our class. The deep, rich maroon represents the sterling integrity of our character whi le the bright gold typifies the brilliancy of our aehievements and the crowns we will gain: at the end . We realized that life, even in school, is not always a " cinch," and that the most noble livf's are those which have confronted obstacles and surmounted difficulties, so we chose as our motto: ''Through Difficulties to the Stars." We beg·an our long· clilnb as ardent, enthusiastic Freshmen and resol ved never to falter till we h·1d reached the summit. The stars of our graduation d·w seemed faint and distant in those days, when we first began the ln11g, h~rd climb, hut we toiled on, receiving many scratches. and bruises, never faltering, never doubting, till commencement came with its honors �and partings. Then the curtain, which had cast a veil over our stars, was thrown back and they were revealed to us, still very faint and distant, but nevertheless real and obscured by no veil as of yore. One of our fair maidens entered the conte&t for the medal in recitation, and, although the medal was taken by a member of the third class, our representative gave her a close fight. We were now Sophomores, and, throwing aside the modest robe of the Freshman (which, by the way, we had worn but little) we began to wax warm in class spirit. September 16 we presented ourselves at S. H. S. and began the second stretch of our climb. The obstacles became higher and more difficult to surmount as we toiled higher, but we overcame them all, and kept our eyes fixed steadily on the stars, with which we would be crowned when we reached the goal. We conquered Cresar as he conquered Gauls; broke several records in mathematics; made glad the heart of our English teacher by our proficiency in that line; sent a representative to Washington to help inaugurate Wilson; started a class paper which became the literary standard of the school; and did many other things for the glory of our class and the enlightenment of mankind. When commencement time again rolled around, many of our m embers were presented with first honors, while our contestant of the previous year, Miss Lucile Brown, covered herself and the whole class with glory by walking off with the medal in the recitation contest. But alas, our medal winner has departed from our midst, and is now showing the Blacksburg High Schoolites "how it ought to be don ~." During the summer we recuperated our strength, and in September returned to the tender mercies of Miss Jones and h er colleagu1 s, and entered upon our school duties as gallant, record-breaking Juniors. It was found that, in addition to the one mentioned before, we had also lost two other members from our band- Mr. Bruce Mosely, who had connected himself y.rith the Norfolk and Western, and Mr. Paul Oakey, who accepted a call to a chair at V. P. I. We entered upon our Junior work with a zest and have established an honor roll record that can never be surpa,.;sed . At times the way has been steep and rugged, but, with set lips and stout hearts, and eyes fixed on the ever brightening stars ahead, we have kept toiling, climbing on. Those stars seem very close now and already we seem to see engraved on them the names of those who, having toiled and overcome, will sit on the rostrum of the Tabernacle and r eceive their diplomas and then go forth into the world to show that they have not toiled in vain. One member of our class is right in the race for the English medal, and we believe h er star is a lucky one, made so by noble effort. The star is the natural emblem of our class, for is not the star itself a _I �unit-that is, one? And has it not five points? Put these digits together and you have 15-the year which gives us our name- our star year. Let us ever keep toiling and climbing, until, having finished the last sharp ascent, we set foot on the summit and look back without a blush, and receive our "well done" with the feeling that it is fully deserved. And, as we will go forth to fight the battles of life, may the stars of hope and achievement ever light up-our pathway, while we show to the world that we have laid a firm mental and moral foundation during our four long years of climbing "Through Difficulties to the Stars. " HISTORIAN . ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ W:qat 1915 Q!lass We are twenty-five in number, And we've got no time for slumber, For there's always something doing when our hats are in the ring. Oh! those Seniors may be older, And the Sophs may think they're bolder, But from Freshman Class to Faculty- none of t hem has a thing On that 1915 Class. We're the best- you 'd surely know it, But there never was a poet, Could do justice to the class that wears maroon and gold. If that sounds a bit conceited, Do not wait till its repeated, Get a move on, look around you, why the half has not been told, Of that Hn5 Class. Of the great, we are the greatest, Of the late, we are the latest, Everythin g we do is done in the superlative degree. I could write like this forever, And each line would be more clever, But I'll quit with thi s quotation, ' 'I would lay me down and dee, " For that 1915 Class. P OETESS . �Jjuninr <trlass Jin.em Of all this class of twenty-five, I'm sure you will agree, Not one is more incompetent, Your poetess to be. The task to which I am assigned, Is something new to me, And that I can't compose a rhyme, You very soon will see. But since you have assigned to me, The honor of the task, I'll ask the Muse to give me aid, No other boon I'll ask. For three years now we'll all admit, We've been a happy band, And we have upon us showered, Blessings on every hano. Our teachers true have taught to us, That life is but a science, That it is not a game of chance, But rests upon appliance. Those rare dreams that haunt the mind, And never can come back, Are life's night mares that startle us, When self control we Jack . Idea ls become a part of self, A purifying power, Ideals of progress lead to work, New blessings come each hour. Our hearts are light, our eyes are bright, And our ambition's set, On the goal that is before us, That waits our coming yet. So let's improve each fleeting hour, And as future years unfold, Let's not forget the happy days we spent, Under the banner of maroon and gold. H.

It nearly broke our hearts. of course, to leave Miss Griffin, but another class of huge dimension s and what might be said about their characte r- was advancin g to occupy the kilts and perambul ators which we were vacating, so we stepped into the dignity of Second Classmen with only an occasiona l salt tear as we fondly thought of the long-gone days of our callow youth. '"Labor Omnia Vincit." To be sure that's a very good motto. The only trouble with it is the word "Labor." The violet is our class flower. It is an excellent symbol of the class, modest but courageou s. Then too: "Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, And so are you." does not bear upon the subject but, poetry of bit The above charming r. Chronicle the to appeals it somehow, There is no color combinati on, save one, which can exceed in beauty the Gold and Blue. May the sons and daughter s of the class ever be as true to their colors as they are to the Red, White, and Blue, the only combinat ion that can equal the Gold and Blue. Behold our valorous classmate in the field of oratory. Did not a member of the Class of '16 earry off the honors at last year's declamat ion contest? Well, rather. But let us consider less ancient history. There is, even in this enlightened age, a member of this illustriou s class who is inclined to the opinion that the religious revival of the nineteent h century was the "Holy Jumpers ." While many of us cannot concur in this opinion we think that he has some ground for his belief. There is another gentlema n of the class who has not yet convince d us that water can be reduced no lower than 32° Fahrenhe it. The Historian has recently performe d an "ethereal experim ent" which proved quite satisfacto ry but which has since furnished unlimited amusement for the Professor of Science and sundry of her friends. Wonder why? I understan d that some of the Freshmen are in love. This is indeed a serious condition of affairs . Let me warn them as an elder brother, who. A ., �from sad experien ce, knows the hard road they are likely to travel to keep their minds clear of any such hallucina tibns. ' · Rememb er Patrick Henry: "Give me liberty or give me death." And now, since this chronicle seems to have descende d to the plane of a treatise on the world at large, permit me to venture a few words of fatherly advice and in closing a few of prophecy . To young ladies in general: "Learn to cook." Accordin g to the latest court records a large per cent. of all the divorce cases are caused by indigestion. To the Seniors, by way of encourag ement: ''The paths of glory lead but to the grave. '' To the Juniors, in brotherly love: " Sile, et philosoph us esto!" To the Freshme n from copious experienc e: Keep your weather eye on · the "Ablativ e Absolute ." far-reach With . promised I prophecy of bit'' ''wee And now for that posig occupyin '16 of Class s illustriou the of ing fancy I see the members tions of honor and trust in the great world of men and affairs ; I see all of our beloved teachers happily married to worthy gentleme n, and, best of all at some future time, the class returning "en masse" to lay their laurels at the feet of their Alma Mater.

Three girls and two boys have dropped out during the year, decreasing the the roll of our brilliant class to forty-eight pupils. The first day our names were taken, our list of books was given to us and we proceeded slowly homeward in tranquil peace, untormented by the Sophs and upper classmen. But alas! to our infinite sorrow and regret, this condition was not allowed to continue. The next day at fifteen minutes past eleven we "rats" were corralled in the basement and-! But let us leave this painful (to us) and exciting scene and proceed to something more cheerful. Except for some particular act of freshness, we were unmolested after the first few days. And now for our studies. Latin and Algebra were easy enough at first, ?ut then- the worst was yet to come. We could have disillusioned any mexperienced pupil about the studies being easy. To any one who has had the pleasure of studying Rhetoric, we need only to mention the word. Those who have not, we will let find out for themselves the hardships yet to be endured. Physical Geography and Spelling are fa-i rly easy, but Ancient History is a strange subject, about strange people of whom, heretofore, we knew nothing. As for our teachers, Miss McConkey is an angel minus the halo, wings, harp and flowing robe. Miss Armstrong is amiable and competent but rather strict. Miss' Campbell is patient, willing to help those who try, and a good disciplinarian . Miss Griffin has unlimited patience, it seems, and is also thoroughly efficient and strict. Miss Jones! whether innocent or guilty, we still tremble at her august presence. She does not teach us anything, as yet, and is lavish with permissions to "go up town" or "over to the other buildin g" or "down to Marshall's." We do not boast of our brilliance, nobility, etc., etc .. as we have good reason to. We do not need to, as, soon enough, it. will speak for itself. For the past, we have spent a calm and peacefu l winter, and, on the whole, a -, �joyous one, and are already making plans for the entertainment (?) of the future ''rats.''

I ��~HE March wi.nd was blowing with a veng:ance o:er_ the little town of \!J..- S- - -, thinning the streets of pedestrians, strngrng the cheeks of the housewives and small boys who were doing their evening chores, and sighing in the treetops like the sad yearning of an aching heart. In the parlor of an imposing house which pointed on a broad street in the town, a girl of about nineteen summers reclined on a lounge, lost in deep thought. She had tried to embroider, but the heart she was shaping seemed to remind her of another heart which was weary and broken; she had picked up a book to read, but there seemed to stand out in front of the page a noble face with lips that she had seen given with disappointmE :'nt and sorrow; she glanced at the evening paper, but the date was the first thing that caught her eye, and she threw it down as she remembered what misery had come into her life on that date one long year before. With tremblin g hands she opened the door and went out into the air to cool her brow; but the win ct seemed to sigh in a dreary monotone, ''To the ends of the earth! to the E:'nds of the earth!" With a cry she closed the door and retreated to the parlor, where she flung herself upon the lounge in an agony of remorse. As she lay there, her mind went back to the night, just one year before, when Robert Wardlaw had ca!IPd for the last time, and pass1 d out of her life to go she knew not where. She did not know whether he was alive. whether he even thought of her, or whether another had returned his love, and he had bestowed on this one the affections which had been wasted <•n her- perhaps not wasted, but poured out in vain; yet, in her heart something seemed to tell her that he still loved her with the same ardent love, and would some day come from the ends of the earth to claim his bride. She thought how foolish she had been to be persuaded by a girl who had ever been jealous of his love for her, into believing him guilty of a certain dishonorable act, and in sending him out without hope and encouragPment when he most needed it. Robert Wardlaw had never made any very brilliant achieven' ents in his studies during his University career, and, when he stood at the head of his class .at the mid-year examinations , there was considerable comment on the part of those who were acquainted with his previous progress. That he had never worked to the best of his ability no one denied, but some were reluctant to believe that he had reformed at the last hour and become �) .. studious enough to win the highest honors; so when it became known that a copy of each examination had been stolen, these people pointed to young Wardlaw as the certain culprit. His friends stood loyally by him until circumstantial evidence began to pile upon him, when, one by one, they began to drop away, until he had only one fellow-student whom he could call his friend. · During those trying days he had avoided Dolly Black, to whom he was engaged to be married, hoping to be able to clear himself before seeking her company; but, when Easter came, with matters as dark as ever, he could stand it no longer, and on the night before he was to start for his home in a distant town, he bent his steps in the direction of Dolly's home, ;hoping to carry away with him the assurance that she believed him innocent. That very afternoon a girl, who had tried vainly to win his attention, called on Dolly Black, and succeeded in so poisoning her mind against Wardlaw, that Dolly began to wonder how she had ever been so deceived in him as not to see the rascality that was everywhere evident in his character, according to her afternoon visitor. When Wardlaw rang the bell of the Black's home that night, an inner voice seemed to tell him that something was wrong; and, when Dolly met him at the door with a frigid " Good evening, Mr. Wardlaw, " he decided that the bottom of his hopes had fallen . out, and that life contained little that was really worth living for. As Dolly lay there on the lounge, her mind went back over the sc~ne of that night one year before. She remembered her refusal to marry one who would stoop so low as to win honors at the expense of his character. She seemed to see again his look of hurt pride and injured innocence as with head held high and flashing eyes, he cried , "Dolly, ever since I met you, when I was a young, homesick Freshman, you have been the star that I have endeavored to attain. That year I devoted my whole time to you; the next year, finding that you liked athletics, I entered heart and soul, into every activity, and won honors on · every team - not for my sake, but for yours. Last year you took · up the notion that the finest thing in the world was oratory, so I entered into this, and won the medals for debate and oratory. This year, hearing that you were not satisfied with my work in the classes, I devoted myself to my books, and you know how well I have succeeded in that line, and now, after all the sacrifices I have made for your sake, after having known me this long, you are ready to believe me guilty of a deed that would stain my name, and prove me unworthy of the one whom I have adored. Dolly, whenever I have been tempted. whenever the way seemed rough, and I �' would fain have eased myself of some irksome duties, your face has always come before me, and with that to cheer me on I have overcome all, and do you think that now, when my work is so nearly finished, when you have already promised to reward my efforts with your hand, that I would stoop to an act that would brand me forever as a sneak and coward?'' She seemed to feel anew the tremor that shook his manly frame as he took her hand and said, with trembling lips, while the burning tears s.tood in his clear blue eyes: "Goodby, Dolly- Miss Black- I shall leave, go to the ends of the earth-anywh ere where I am not known. Life holds nothing for me that is worth living for. Some day, perhaps, you will realize that you have judged me too harshly, and perhaps you will be sorry that you have sent me away. How soon death comes, I care not. Eternity, at least, will clear me of this charge. Good by." With that he had turned abruptly and left the house, and she had never seen him since. Within a few weeks from the time of his departure, he had been completely vindicated of the charge laid against him, but he was no where to be found. His uncle, with whom he had lived, had made every effort to locate him, but in vain. So the year had rolled around, until the anniversary of that fatal t·vening had come with it~ sad memories. Gradually the eyes of the girl on the lounge grew heavier and heavier. She slept In her dreams she sees hPr lover as he leaves the University grounds with an aching reart, ~ind takes the night train for New York. She sees him embarking for Europe. She catches occasional glimpses of him as he works as a clerk in a London counting house, and as he drives a cab in Paris. Later, she views the madonnas with him, and watches while he crosses the sea to Egypt. She finds him beneath the Pyramids, and views with him the wondPrful Sphinx. She loses sight of him for a while, but finally catches a ha~ty glimpse of him as he hunts in the jungles of India. She sees him later kissed by the sun of Japan, and follows him across the waters to San Francisco. She sees him prospecting in the mountains of the West, ·and smiles with joy as he "strikes it rich. " She heaves a sigh as he places his money in the San Francisco bank, without the least sig n of enjoyment, but with a yearning look which seemed to say that he had lost something-so mething gold could never replace. Finally, t:he follows him to the fnrt>st. a" he hunts game for the mere sake of keeping his mind from sad memories, and as ht-> is stalking through the woods, she sees a panther spring with an ::mgry snarl from an overhanging limb, and pin him to the ground, and she sc i·, a1n", "O, Robert! Robert! " "Yes, Dear, I am here." �She awakes with a start, and throws herself into the arms of a stalwart young man, with a scar on one cheek, and the bronze of many a day's exposure on his face. Neither speak a word, but they stand there locked in each others embrace, while their hearts attempt to bridge the intervening year with an overflow of love. J. R. G., JR., '16.

Salem's organization of Boy Scouts began March 2, 1911, with a memwith a membership of eight boys, under the leadership of Dr. G. M. Maxwell. Since its origin it has steadily grown until the present membership is forty-six, which constitutes two troops. During the latter part of last year we were very sorry to lose as Scout Master, Dr. Maxwell, who resigned after three years of earnest labor. Our new Scout :Master, Mr. Robert Logan, has since worked with and for us to such an extent that we have excellent prospects of having a club house of our own, in the near future. We were lately very much pleased by gaining another worker in our ranks, Mr. Rappi Myers, who will assume the Scout Mastership of Troop I. Since our organization we have taken three camping trips. In 1911 an itinerary camp, covering over one hundred miles; in 1912 a week's camp at Island Ford; and in 1913 a week's camp at Crockett's Springs. The Boy Scouts of America is an organization whose plan is not military, as is thought by many to be the case. It teaches, however, loyalty, patriotism and chivalry, and is an advocate of universal peace. There are three degrees of Scouthood: Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class, Tenderfoot being the lowest and First Class the highest.

Ther e were at first over eighty members in the class. On account of this congestion we had to be divided. S ince the beginning of the term , however, we have lost sever al of our pupils, leaving thirty-six: in one room and thirty-five in the other. The class has made a good start in ever ything they h ave undertaken . 'l' he vice-president of Lyceum is a member of the First Class. Several pupils of the class have debated, and most of th em \\·on. 'l'his showed th e other classes that we are not so easily bea ten in some things. B esides the debating, some of the Freshmen have appeared as r eader s and musicians. As yet, only a fe w of th e First Class boys have taken an active part in athletics. But n ext year we feel sure ther e \rill be a large number of th em on th e t eam. Of course some of our work is unfamiliar, and th er efore a little hard for u s. But \\·e are not goin g to give up beca use of t his. Indeed. \\·e could n ever exp ect to learn anythin g t hat " ·ay ! Vve are fortunat e in havin g good teacher s, \rho ar e able to ex plain things well to us; for success in school depends upon th e teacher as well as upon t he pupils. vVe started out with great en t husiasm on our High School course.

Th en sleep iness va nished and he did not fail to gaze at the g reat deep trenches and breastw orks, gaping ca nnon , and line upon line of expecta nt troops. All seemed to be in r eadiness for an expecte d attack a nd it was not in the heart of any Belgian to fear to defend this beloved native land. No enemy , howeve r , was visible, and all was quiet, save for th e low murmu r of men's voices and an occasio nal neig h of an imp at ient horse. The men for t he most part were silent ; occasio nally a man lea ned over from his saddle to make some terse r emarks to his neighbo r, but those loya l hearts wer e heavy. Each had left some beloved one a nd life seemed so s weet just now, with the birds softl y singing from th e trees whi ch s\rnyed gen t ly in a yet gentler breeze. W ere th e trees trying to spea k-or , " ·er e th ey trying to drive the bitter th oughts and heart-rending agony from th e hea rt of each ? \¥ho knows ? vVhy coul d not German y r efrain in th e g r eed of her passion from bringin g agony and pestilen ce an d famine and dea th on Belgium ? Ah! W hy, indeed ? Th e hopeless emptin ess of th at questio n \rill ever ring in the ears of p eoples of all times. This dejectio n and wretch edn ess \\·as. also , in th e hea r t of th e p ale and trembli ng maid en who stood in t he doo r of a cottage nea rby . Th e roses wer e in full bloom and waved softl y in t he breeze over th e doo r \\·her e th e you ng girl stood. Why a sigh ? Is there aught darest stand bet,reen th ee and h ap pin ess ? A £gure is see n r apid ly approac hi ng and the rose of t he maiden 's cheek becomes as lovely as the exquisit e littl e bud whi ch ever and an on kisses shyly th e beautifu l girl. 'fhe r ider dismou nted at th e ga te, trul y th e incarna tion of glori ous young manhoo d. H e gently clas ped th e waitin g girl in his arms. '' Thou will st com e hack to me ?' ' she murmu red . " Aye, bu t t hou " ·ould st not have me \\"aver in my duty?" And he sea r ched her face for that whi ch he knew would he m·itten ther e. 1 �The ea rth trembl ed, and the terrific, deafening sound of the discharge of many cannon smote the two standing thus. The enemy! The enemy! Then Germany dar ed force her way through a country which refused to give her consent to death , panic, famin e, destruction , desolation , murder and vice. Ther e was only time for a last embrace and a last clasp of the clear hand and he was on his \ra y to probable dea th , or, if not to death , p erhaps-worse yet-to eke out his exist ence, maimed for life. No wonder the fac e turned ashy white, no wonder she \Yhisper ed, "Courage-courage,'' to her poor, flutt ering heart. The sun rose high er on his glorious way, as th e siege became fiercer and fiercer. The sun was partially concealed by th e dense smoke of th e cannon , but it bea t down unmercifully alike on the living and dying. Men fell , overcome purely by the a\rful, unbearable rays of the sun. Th er e "·as great confusion: horses running wild, dying men mingling th eir piteous moans \\·ith the din of the cannon, men being mo\\·ed down by th e thousands. This \YH S an important position, imperative for Germany and she must not fail. Even God must have turned his face from the destruction , the crime and the horror of it all. The heavens roared and rumbl ed, li ghtning flashed, and then the heavens opened and the r ain fell in torrents'' On ea rth men said 'thunder-storm ', But God had cried aloud. " Finall y, the clouds burst and th e rain ceased and the firing, \rhi ch had been temporarily stopped by the storm , bega n with ever increasing fur y. The sun sank lo\\·er and lo,rer and still th e fierce cannonade ceased not. The villag·e at hand was almost in ruins, but our little house of the pink roses was still left standing. Th e sun sa nk at last and the trenches. th e ca nnon , th e fort-a ll . evi>n th e lifeless forms pi led high on the tremendous battl efi eld . \H'r e presentl y obscured by th e total darkn ess.

We were a little scared and excited at first, but soon settled down to winning the good will (?) of our teachers. At once we began to distinguish ourselves, both in our studies a7!d in athletics, but especially the latter, members of our class playing on the basketball and football teams. In our second year we lost a good many of our members, but those who remained lived up to the reputation we had already established. This year is marked by our introduction to Ccesar, which, though rather unpleasant to some of us, was quickly mastered by most of the class. Again we had the ma jority of the members of both football a nd basketball teams. b the Junior Class we continued to distinguish ourselves, and our basketba ll trnm agam won the State title. m the school. In th at year we started several new move ments This year, as always, we have led old S. H. S. in all her enterprises and have always stood and worked for the good of the school, h ave always taken a n active p ::: rt in the work of the Lyceum, and members of our class have won the high es t scholarship honors. This year also we have led in athletics. The football team for th e first tim e wo:i the State championship from Maury High, and the C lass of 1918 had eight members of the eleven. The basketball titl e went to us for the th ird successive year, and the victorious team is, with the exception of one, taken from this class. W e owe our success and honors to ha rd work.

(35) • �• l •• • Prophecy m ~NE rainy afternoon near the close of my Senior year I decided to pack away in - a chest in the garret all my high school books. Among them I fouad my annual ,- ~ of I 918, which I just brought home tkt day, and my packing was 5oon for- gotten in my newer interest. Upcn opening the book, the first picture I saw was Harvey, but as I looked the picture faded. I beheld a courtroom, everything seemed in readiness , yet there was an They were evidently waitirg for someone; then the door opened arrd in rushed a businesslike lawyer, somewhat late, whom my prophetic soul immediately ;;ir of expectation. •• •• •• •• rl.'cognized as Harvey. lhan Rosalie. My attention was then turned to the Judge, who was no other Order was called and the prisoner brought forward, who, to my amaze- ment, I saw was George, charged with publishing Peel's ~peller. This scene faded, and ia a twinkling I saw Nelda, the gentle wife of a minister, surrounded by a group of Belgian refugees, whom she was teaching with diligence. The next scene was in F ranee. Florence i.l.nd Helen. I noticed a group of tourists, among whom were They were standing before a beautiful building, the Art Museu:n at Verdun, which, as they found in their tourists' guide book, had been designed by the famous American architect, Eleanor Schofield. Upon entering, the guid e told the:n the high walls and all the interior were decora ted by the American artist, Winfred Glenn, who was very extraordinary, in that he did not use a stepladder in his work . In the Art gallery the tourist stopped with admiring gla 1~ces before the portrait of Gen. Clovis Peters. Quickly the scene changed, and I saw a large theatre; soft strains of music were heard, and a voice that could belong to no other than Hazel , who was now a prima donna. •• • •• •• As I continued to turn the pages other visions rose before me and I was rejoiced to feel assured of the happiness and success of those who have mear. t so much to me and to each other. I was charmed to see ] ere and the girl of his heart leading rnciety as the second Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle . Quite a pretty Orien tal picture came before me next-that of Mary Campbell, a missionary in China, teaching in o;-ie of the mission schools . Then I uttered a cry of delight when I saw Clara, now a charming model, displaying the most beautiful gowns of the season for the company of Moeschler & Gardner of New York City, the fashion center of the world . (3 6) •••••••• • ••• II • t �•• •••••••••••• II • Next I saw Paul, grave and dig;iined, in the New York City Auditorium, presenting to the public his Republican platform for the coming election of Mayor. In the next scene was a beautiful home on the Hudson, where resided Annie and her husband, Dr. - - . Mary Goodwin was leading a quiet domestic life in her country home. As I tumed to the next picture there loomed before me the campus and buildings of a Southern college; I was shown into one of the large lecture rooms, with Sue in charge as instructor in Math, and I was glad for the success she deserved. The walls of an art gallery were doubly attractive when I became aware that Margaret's name was attached to the wonderful landscape paintings which were receiving highest praise. And the:i I saw a ship which I instinctively knew was leaving for F ranee, and, boarding it, was a group of Red Cross nurses, among whom I saw Lottie Webber. A handsomely dressed woman appeared on a platform and, i:i a most gracious and forceful manner, addressed the crowd. It was soon clear that she was a leading suffragette. Imagine my delight when she smiled and I knew it was Dewie! At first I did not know the two distinguished looking men conversing so earnestly with Mr. Edison in his laboratory. Walter Oakey a:id Ted. Then they faced me, and I at once recognized When I recalled their early chemical genius I was not surprised II at their achievements in that line . The next scene made me slyly wink back a tear, for I saw the sad faces of Lois • a nd Margie, who had been disappointed in love and were now in a lonely nunnery. The most amusi:ig view of all then appeared. It was evidently a teachers' meeting, for there sat rows of prim, elderly ladies with corkscrew curls. In the crowd I saw Nettie, Ruth and Dollie. Walter Grah am was shown as a minister, who see med to be following the example of the "pore parson of the towne." Gladys Givens, in the trimmest of uniforms, stood by her airplane. I remembered ••• hearing her say she would rather go to war than marry any man. On an office door I saw "Dr. Sau:iders." Just then the door opened , and Lynwood walked briskly out, entered his ca r and hurried away to some patient. The next scene appeared to be on a Western ranch. There I saw an immense tractor, which, to my astonishment, was being run by Lottie Shelton, a:i up-to-date farmer girl. ••• Ill (37) •••• ill •• • �•••••• •• • As the scene changed, I was reminded of my childhood days on the farm. Bowyer was directing his employes in a field of newly cut hay. Gladys Kerner I saw in a white uniform, holding a cup of tea in one hand and waving a spoon in the other. Was it nursing or domestic science which had claimed her? Next, Edna appeared as an attendant in the Southwest Virginia Hospital at Marion. I turned another page and saw the picture of Cecil. In a second I beheld a large car roll up before a magnificent electrical plant, and to my delight I saw Cecil enter with an air of authority. Without doubt, I concluded this was his plant in the city of D etroit. This scene vanished, and in its place I recognized Lena, now a physician in a Wes tern town. But then-I had turned the last page, the spell was broken. and future in a few minutes. I had seen the past I felt a sense of pride at the record of the famo us Class of 1918. Still I knew nothing of my own future, and while I was wondering what was in store for me, I saw the dearest little bungalow, all covered with vines and with a rose garden in the rear. I remembered that "home-keeping hearts are happiest."

It has met pracbeneficial. and active been has society the especially, This year, programs have the tically every two weeks during the session on Friday afternoons, and been varied with classical, humorous and patriotic selectio;is. We have had some good debates on questions which perhaps did not sound §'o interesting at first, but as they are developed and delivered with spirit, our interest grew. In March a contest was held in declamation, debate and recitation, in which all the co;itestants worked laborio usly, a nd the results more than justified the effort. Those in the recitation contest were: Eleanor Schofield, Virginia Little, Dorothea Switzer and Julia Gunn. They kept the large audience highly entertained, and we were all wondering who would be the successful one. Herbert Bondurant, Harry Cawley a;id Clovis Peters d eclaimed in a way that m.:kes us proud of them; while Rosalie Stevens and Harvey Woods d ebated w ith Margaret Temple and Annie Shelor the question whether the United States should enter a league to enforce peace a t the close of this war. Those who won medals in this contes t are Dorothea Switzer, C lovis Peters, Rosalie Stevens and Harvey Woods. (55) ill ••••• Ill • IUUI • ••••••• • II • �The Philosophy of Study • "Whoo-ee ! Whoo-ee ! Whoo-ee !" sounded just under the library window. Mr . Tucker never raised his head, but he tur.ied his eyes from his paper and eyed his son of eight summers narrowly. Billy rose, holding his history book against him, and advanced toward the window. Before he could raise it another whistle sounded, shriller and a little impatient. Raising the sash, the boy announced in a very "what-are-youbothering-me-for?" to:ie, "Can't come out." "Aw, come on.,, . "Nope, can't." "Gwan, ask your dad . I bet he'll let you come for half an hour." "I to!' you I couldn't. Gotter study." "Just for a while, come on," pleaded the chum. "William, tell Howard you can't come out, and close that window. here already." It's cold in "I done to!' you so, Howard. Dad said I couldn't, an' I gotta close this here window. S'long." Down we:it the window with a bang, and Billy reseated himself. 'Tm so glad you have come to understand that study is a necessity once in a while, William," said his mother. She was an awfully jolly mother, but she would say "William" instead of "Bill." All was quiet in the room for a while, with only an occasional crackling of the fire and the rattling of Dad's paper. The:i, removing his glasses and turning to speak to his son, D ad questioned: "How about that arithmetic homework? Don't you have it any more?'' "Mmhuh, but-" ii 81 Just then a feminine voice gave a warning-"William." "Er-I mean yes, sir, but y' know I thought it ud be better if I done m' litatur an' history at home and the 'rithmetic in study period, 'cause it don't take so long as litatur and history does." "I see. Pretty good logic for a young fellow, do you say, Mother?" "Yes-knit one-two; purl one-two." "Uh," and the chair creaked as Dad resumed his pa per. After Billy departed for bed, Mr. and Mrs. Tucker discussed his unusual refusal to go to pl ay with his chums after supper, which was a subject of nightly discussion between parents and son, co:isisting of argument and persuasion on Billy's part and commands on the part of his parents. As a rule, he won a promise of "just a half hour now." "I am glad he has learned not to ask to go out on school nights, but I must say it was somewhat of a shock to hear him refuse without the usual discussion," said Mrs. T ucker, arra nging her knitti:ig in her bag. (56) •• �. ••• .--~~~~~~~--~~~~~· Ill "It is time he learned. I'm tired of this continual fuss about going out after supper. By the way, if he keeps up this study of history and literature at home, his report on the end of the month will show up better. For a wonder, arithmetic isn't such a trouble to him, but his history grades are fierce, and as for literature-well. Now, I always did get better grades than he, and you were a good scholar. Where do you suppose he gets it from? Of course, your two brothers never set the world o:-i fire with their grades. He must have taken that from your side of the house," finished the man. "Certainly, he did," answered his wife, and wondered why books bad been written on the vanity and egotism of woman and so little about that of man. Billy's angel-like devotio:-i to study lasted until the end of the month. Only once had he and Dad gotten into a debate. The question was whether Billy's eyes suffered from his sitting facing the light and quite a distance from it or not. Billy won, and kept his seat in exactly the same place he had always had since he began to study. Mother had a queer feeling when she saw Billy studyi:-ig so hard. The child's eyes must bother him, because he held his books right in front of him. Surely, he wouldn't have to wear glasses like Cousin Nan Blackburn's youngest son did. It made children look so old. After a week or two of this, Billy arrived from school one day with his report. His history and literature marks were different-indeed, they were very different. Heretofore he had at leas t managed to worm through, but these were complete failures. Mother certai:-ily felt much discouraged, and tried to question Billy, but he seemed to know little or nothing about the reason for such marks, as usual. Suppertime came and with it, Dad. •• • •• Billy wasn't visibly disturbed about his report or what might follow. The fact of the matter was tha t Billy was in a dreamf sort of humor when he came into the house after a very noisy and exciting game of pirates with several boon · companions . Mother, sitting near the wi:idow, had noticed Billy directing the game from instructions liste:l on two or three dirty sheets of paper, evidently torn from a book which he drew from his pockets whenever his fellow-pirates seemed uncertain as to the course they should pursue. At present Billy's dreaminess she attributed to exhaustion from so much play, but what worried her was D ad's opinion of that awful report. Billy was not worried; he was having visions of pirates and ships and hidden treasures . When the meal was over the report was produced. Dad was disgusted and questioned William sternly, but satisfaction from that quarter was not forthcoming. "I dunno nuthin' about that report. The teacher gave me those marks, and I can't he'p it," reiterated Billy for about the fourth time. "Look here, young ma n," Dad fi:-ially said, "you'll study not only every night for the next two weeks, but in the afternoons as well. No amount of begging changes that. Do you hear?" Billy did hear, but he did not seem very much disturbed at the prospect of two (57) • • �•••••••• ltl OR.AC LEJJI • \\'eeks' study. His mother imagined he smiled a little, but, of course, that was a mistake on her part. Billy was entirely too fond of play. The child must be ill. In the new order of things Billy took to study like o:ae who was passionately fond of it. Mother was again possessed of that queer uneasiness, but she put it aside as nervousness. One day toward the end of the two weeks allotted to intensive study, Mrs. Tucker on her return from making some calls, stopped just outside of her son's room. Billy was again tryi:ag to convince "How" of the absolute need of "How's" doing something yet unknown to Mrs. Tucker. She paused, smiling at the thought of Billy's love of argument. "Well, when a feller's folks just make him study, you gotta fix up some way to • • make things seem easier." This from Billy. Mrs. Tucker was becoming interested. "One day when I'se telling 'Hank' Bradley all about how Washington fought them there English he told me about a book he read all about pirates a:ad robbers and gold, and he said he'd lend it to me, an' he did. So one day when I'se readin' it in school, when Miss White thought I'se studyin' history, I jus' figured out 'stead of studyin' 'rithmetic at home I'd make out I'se readin' history, and read them books. 'Hank's' done loan me three. One's called 'U:ader the Black Flag,' and 'nother's called 'The Man From the West.' Gee! They sure are classy. I hadda tear 'em in two, 'cause I couldn't hide 'em behind m' history whole." "How" was awed at the wonder and daring of such a scheme. "Ain't they C<rnght you yet?" he asked. "Nope; Mother and Dad sure think I'm studyin', but I got 'em fooled," Billy answered gleefully. "Gee! You're lucky. I'm allus gettin' caught," remarked "How" in a mela:lcholy manner. "Why don't you try it? You can have the front of 'Under a Black Flag,' 'cause I'm on the las' part. Gwan an' try it. You might not get caught this time," urged Billy. "Well-but, say, what if I do? How about Hank's book?" Oh, they are only a dime. We can get him another o:ae. "All right. Give it here." At this point Mother slipped away. She was firmly convinced that there was something i:a this theory of a mother's intuition. That night Billy looked at-I don't think he studied-his history book, sitting m a chair between Mother and Dad. There was also a keen necessity of the cushion m the chair. Billy simply couldn't have done without it. Mother later recommended "Little Lord Fauntleroy," but pirates and their exploits were what Billy wa:ited. H e soon found that he could feast his soul on these from a vantage point on the far side of the chicken house. Not even the memory of Dad's switch had quenched his thirst, but his report was somewhat changed since he studied sitting nearer Dad and Mother.

An eager crowd gathered to witness that game, a close contest having been predicted; but the N orfolk boys s urr end~red completely to their western fri ends. The prophecy of a close game proved false, for Sal em convinced her opponenls early in !he game that she was not accustomd to having anyone cross her goal l_ine, and w ent on about her business of runnin g up forly -ninc p oints for herself. By this, S alem established her reputation as a first-honor school in foolball as well as b asketba ll. BASKETBALL To do justice to ours elves in e xp re s si ~ g our appreciati on of !he honor and glory th at the basketball champions of Virgini a have brought to th eir school , we find befo re us a task of the mos t diffi cult na ture, but as we look bac k and find . th a t thi s is the thi rd year in succession th at they have w on their way to that honor, the task becomes a ll the mo re difficult, a nd at fi rs t thought a lmost impossibl e. In 1916, when we first won the State championship , it became necessary to take about a month to convince some of ou r good friends th at w e w ere the champions. W e h a rdl y b eli eved tha t w e w ould ev er be a bl e to convin ce them. But w e a re ve ry much deli ghted to see th a t w e a re recogni zed a ll ove r the St a te as the ch ampions of Virginia in 1916. \ Ve wi sh to th ank both !he team and the c11lzens of S a lem fo r the winning of the champiomh ip of 1his year-the team for the "fi ghting pep" th at they never lost all th rough the critica l p eriod when we 1hought the Sta te was goin g to lose us ; the citi zens most heartil y fo r their support , whi ch was ve ry mu ch need ed by us at this time and at a ll times . After showin g the University our sid e of the ques tion, we came int o our own, and the team wa·; invited to Charlottesv ille to play J e ff erson S chool for B oys for the ch ampionshi p. W e w on in a w ell-fought b a ttle. In 1917 the Hi gh S chool , reali zi ng th a t a championship team should be given a ch ance to show wha t they could d o under effi cient coachin g, we re very fo rtun ate in securin g the services o f Coach Sp ruh an o f R oan oke C o ll ege. Truly thi s was the beginning of a gre at season for Sal em s b aske tba ll team , but if th e te am had any fal se ideas of an easy victo ry ahead, they ch anged their minds a ft er !he fir st address by C oach Spruh an . They made wonderful p rogress und er. his guidance , and school after school was force d to recogni ze th e superio rity of S a lem in p assin g, shootin g goa ls, and team p lay , easi ly wi nn ing th e fou r ( ?) games th a t put th em in the fin a ls for th e championship . They defe ated a ll schoo ls ma tched to pl ay them in the finals , and brought back th e ch ampion ship for th e second time, togeth er w ith a handsome lovin g cu p , present ed to the winn ing team by Mr. M aphi s. The business men of S a lem, fe elin g that somethin g should be d one to show their apprecia ti on of the team th at had won honors for their schoo l and th eir town , gave a banquet, th e m emory of w hi ch will a lways be cherished by every memb er of the team . W e now come to th e grea tes t of grea t ye ars. In 1917 S alem ent e red th e game w ith a d etermin a ti on to make for S alem a name tha t would never be fo rgotten, and w e beli eve th ey h ave done exac tly wh at th ey d etermined . Salem before was just Sa lem, a town o f an ordin ary reputati on fo r a tow n of its size ; it did not make a very la rge d ot on the map , but w ith th e success o f our team, w ith the reput a tion. p raise and hono r won by our boys a ll ove r th e Sl ate, a lthough th e d ot physica ll y is not increased , it looks immense ly larger to the res t o f th e Sta te w hen locating S alem on the map. W e w on the ch ampionship f rom C h a rl ottesvill e in a h ard - fo ught b a ttl e and again the apprec ia tion a nd enthu siasm o f th e S a lem people burst fo rth , and th ey did no t slop a t inviti ng !he tea m, nor the schoo l. but !he tea m, school and th e p a trons of th e schoo l w ere a ll invit ed lo th e recep li on . It was a t this recepti on tha t the p eop le o f the tow n p resented each member of th e fo ol ba ll and basketba ll team a h and some pocketbook, of whi ch each one is very p roud, for the efforts th ey h ave p ut for th . But we mu;t not fo rge t th at the teams th a t w on lhese hon ors could h ave d one no th ing but fo r M iss J ones , our Prin cip a l, wh o fin anced every move !he A thl eti c A ssocia ti on m ad e. A nd to show their a p pre c i ~. ti o n, the teams prese nted her with a beauti fu l therm os p itcher. Wi ll they w ho w ere p resent eve r for get that enj oyabl e evenin g that th ey spent toge ther ? N ever w ill the memory of that wonder ful evening become dull in th e min ds o f the team, when fo r th e last time th e peop le of Sa lem ga lh ered toge th er to th ank th em in thi s mann er fo r the re puta ti on th a t they h ad m ade for Sa lem b y winn ing the champi onship for three consec ut ive years . Th e team had an easy lim e d efea tin g a ll cla ims to 1he Hi gh Schoo l ch ampionshi p, but ihis time it w as no t easy ge ttin g into the fin a l-beca use w e coul d n' t bea t th e games? O h , no, no t th a t ! for we w on every game of the se ason , with one excepti on, and then to a tea m th at was supposed to b e in a c lass above us, but it was no t- th e luck just simply b roke aga inst us. So in the las t game o f the season and the las t game th ey w ould ever p lay toge ther, they sh 1wed wh a t rea l spor tsmen th ey were by takin g th e d e fea t in a most exce llent m ann er- no w himpering, no ki cking, no grow ling- th e luck had f a ll en to the oth er sid e. 0 •• (63 ) Ill 111••••• • •• • �• Iii • II • II Coach G. H. Spruhan Coach G . H. Spruhan, known by all as the "Irishman Behind the Gun," who has been Coach of our football and basketball teams for the past three years, is, in large measure, the man responsible for the wide reputation that Salem High now has, and takes great pride in having had for the past three years the best high school football and basketball teams of the State-a reputation that all other high II Ill •• schools of the State today are indeed envious of. Without a doubt, Coach has made the team . His love of these sports, his personal experience which has acquainted him with the final details of the games, and his ability to handle boys so as to get the best results and at the same time keep their respect, have made him a most efficient and a far-above-the-average Director. His methods of coaching are compo;ed chiefly of persi;tence, hard daily practice, sarcasm, encouragement when necessary , and frequent use of "cuss words" when such seem most fitting . His ability to inspire and put "pep" in the team by his little five-minute talks befo:·e each game cannot be surpassed. Und er his direction, Salem High has h ad conferred upon her the highest honors po;sible in the athletic line. Hi ; easy-go:ng manner, courage and desire for clean, manly athleti cs have won for him th e admiration, high esteem and a ff ec ti on of both the student body and faculty of Salem High, and it i; with d eep regret that, due to the draft, it i; very doubtful about his being with u; next year.

But, with the fine spirit for which Salem High is famous, the girls determined to have a good team. Miss Katherine Walker, enthusiasm ran high. team gomg. assisted by Miss Inez Carter, acted as Coach, and The girls practiced hard and worked faithfully to keep a basketball All the games attempted were play~d splendidly. The extreme weather and no suitable gym made it necessary to ca;icel several games, and practice was discontinued before Christmas. The girls in all their games and in their trips gained a reputation for clean athletics. There is every reason to expect a much greater success next year than the girls' team has so far achieved. The excellent record of the boys' basketball team will prove a stimulus in the future, a;id while there are no State honors in line for the girls, it is always well to "aim high."

Historian ( 6 ) �THE ORACLE Senior Class Roll RoY LEANDER SoMMARDAHL Roanoke, Virginia "Wise ly and slow They stumble that run fast." Behold lh e illuslrious presidenl of lhe Senior Class! 11 is said 1ha1 1he mosl precious 1hin gs come in sma ll packages and 1his has indeed proven lrue in lh e case of "Dulch ." His favorite study is malhemalics in which he hopes lo distingui sh himse lf a t V. M. I. Roy is greatly altracted lo a cerlain black-haired, blue-eyed Senior, who has remained true to him throu gh all fortunes and misfortunes. The li1tle signs of 1heir alfeclion for each other have been a source of a musemenl lo the Class and a n inspiration to go and do likewise. Roy recen tly broke his record by obtaining the grade of 95 per cent ,, which entitled him to 1he honor ro ll. We do nol find many fauhs in " Dulch" bul we wonder why he ge ls so much amusemenl in kicking over ink boltles. Glee Club,'20; Class President, '20; '19. Manager Football. IMOG EN EDWINA WHITESCARVER Salem, Virginia "Her coquellish eyes so soft and blue B e ware! B e ware! She' s fooling you." N ever was it truer than in the case of Imo gen thal ' "brevity is the soul of wi1." She is lhe very essenc e of good humor and is con linually surprising us with her wit. That combi na tion of blue eyes and dark hair that she possesses is very charm ing and has proven very altraclive to a certain little masculine member of lhe Senior Class. Imo ge n is never a slacker in any of our S enior activ ili es , and is always ready to give them her earnesl supporl. Class Historian, ' 19; Glee Club, '20. �THE ORACLE MARGARET M. NORRIS Salem, Virginia "Her hours filled up wilh rials, banquels, sporls, and never noled in her an:y slud:y." That's Margaret. She is not fond of books unless they are the latest novels, but she adds to the attractiveness of our Class and we envy her the carefree spirit which she possesses. She spends most of her time readirg ard writing interesting looking letters an.d giving certain boys' co lleges the honor of her presence. Basket-ball, '17-' 18; Secretary Athletic Association, '20; Glee Club, '20. MAUDE MoEsCHLER Salem, Virginia "ff she had an:y faulls, she has left us in doubt; At least in four :years D> e could nol find th e m out." Maude is another ge nius, the possessor of one of the broadest and best-balanced minds of our Class. We all admire the way in which she tackles a job and her perseverance until it is done. As a history pupil she shines above all others. Maude has already received valuabl e training in pedagogy while substitutin.g in the Soph Class, and we hope that she will continue her good work in leadin g oth e rs in th e path of knowledge. Class Historian, '20; Assistant Editor-in-Chief "ORACLE," '20; Glee Club, '20. ( 8 ) �THE ORACLE CONSTANCE BOARD Salem, Virginia "Lady, wherefore talq you so.J" "Con"' is our entertainment committee, and she knows her business well, too. She has a nimble wit that drives away the blues even on rainy days, and which also exhausts the teacher's patience when she wants a quiet study period, for we always prefer Con's chatter to tiresome books. We can't tell what Con expects to do after June, but she seems to prefer Pulaski to any other town in Virginia. Secretary Home Nursing Class II, '20; Class Prophetess, '20; Dramatic Club, '20; Glee Club, '20. B. S. BARNETT, ]R., Salem, Virginia "Up! Up! My friends and quit your booqs." B. S. is a living protest against the usefulness of study; studies the last few exciting minutes before class time, thereby absorbing enough knowledge lo gel through on exams. Although he has never been very brilliant in Latin or Math he has made records to be proud of in Athletics and S. H. S. owes much of her success along that line lo this son. Manager Baseball, '20; Baseball, '19; "S" in Football. '19; "S" in Basket-ball, '20; Dramatic Club, '20; Glee Club, '20; President Lyceum, '20; "S" in Baseball, '20. ( 9 ) �THE ORACLE NANNIE BELLE HAYNES Salem, Virginia "Her air, her manner, all who saw admired; Courteous, though coy, and gentle, though retired." Nannie is one of the most industrious members of our Class. Though she is always happy she restrains her feelings; never giggles foolishly at nothing nor tillers at every silly remark. Nannie has an excellent knowledge of Latin, but this sometimes seems to escape and leave her in total ignorance when we have a visitor. Notwithstanding Nannie's elevated ambition to some day become a great teacher, we fear that such a woman has a higher calling and will soon be keeping house for some fortunate young man. RUTH McCHEE WADE Salem, Virginia "/ feel thy spirit haunt the place, Breathing of order and abounding grace.'' Ruth"s gentl.e manner and generous heart have held our love and friendship throu gh these four long years. Nowhere could we find a more industrious pupil or one more devoted lo school life. But this does not hurl Ruth and she always finds plenty of time lo enjoy the fun of life as her bright smile indicates. Ruth will go lo college next year lo prepare to teach, unless she · wishes for a quite different life and decides to gel married. ( 10 ) I " (_, �THE ORACLE Lucy ELIZABETH Cooow1N Salem, Virginia "A ss isi me, some exlemporal god of rhyme, for I am sure I shall turn sonnet." This young poet of the Senior Class has a particular style of her own. She does not imitate the old masters but is developing a new form of love sonnet, and from the number of selections we find in her books (if practice makes perfect) she has almost perfected it. She never gets melancholy or writes sad poems unless she is thinking of Alma Mater, and then she fills us with hope. Most of Lucy's inspiration comes from pleasant dreams of some young Apollo. Class Poet, '20. HALLIE MAE KIRK Pembroke, Virginia "A dainty little maid from Pembro~e." Hallie has been with us only this year but in that short time she has won the love of her classmates and our only regret is that we have not had her longer to share our joys and grief. She takes life in an easy manner and never lets anything disturb her mind. But, then , she doesn't have to take Civics and French and that is enough to allow tranquility! She will continue her studies in college next year unless those soft, brown eyes get her into trouble. ( II ) �THE ORACLE CATHERINE AMISS Salem, Virginia "She moves a goddess and she loo~s a queen." It is not in our power to describe "Killy," with her dignified and graceful manner, and calm composure on all occasions. Needless to say it is she to whom all the bright ideas are atlributed. She is noted for her wonderful vamping" powers which have been used to great advantage in securing ads for the annual and in selling lags for the athletic fund. We predict for "Kitty" a brilliant future in music, that art in which she has almost gained perfection. Class Poet, '17; Secretary, '20; Home Nursing Class, '20; Dramatic Club, '20 ; President Glee Club, '20; Secretary Lyceum, '18. WILLIAM MONROE EARLY, JR., Salem, Virginia "/ will roar and it will do any man good to hear me." We foretell a great future for William as a lawyer. His favorite form of discourse is argument and he usually convinces his opponent, loo. As a result of this great ability he sits at the back of the room, talks whenever he pleases and transacts all his business in study periods, that are supposed to be unbroken. We hope he will always be as great a success in the bigger things of life. President Athletic Association , '20; Editor-in-Chief, "ORACLE, '20; Dramatic Club, '20; Glee Club, '20. ( 12 ) �THE ORACLE EMMA McCLANAHAN ZIRKLE Salem, Virginia .. / n thee, rays of virtue shin e." Here is one of the stand-bys of our Class, whose calm and quiet manners have won for her the admiration and respect of all the Seniors. Emma places her studies second only to the movies which are her favorite pastime. She is noted for speed on examinations, always being the first to finish. We hope that she will outgrow her shyness and oome day be able to face an audience with the calm assurance and self-confidence that should accompany such great minds. BEULAH HESTER GARST R. F. D. No. 3, Roanoke, Va . .. Ay, Sir, I have a prelly wit." Beulah came lo us from the country, where " nature made her as she is and ne'er made such another." She is a little modest, yet she has a cheerful wit that always starts you laughing, and we owe much of the brighlness of our Class to Beulah. It is rumored that she plan s a beautiful little bungalow to be situaled somewhere in the valley and w e wi sh for he r much happiness. ( 13 ) �... ·-~ THE ORACLE ANNIE VIRGINIA JOHNSTON Salem, Virginia "She ea ts not the bread of idleness." During the four years that we have known Virginia we have found her lo be a faithful friend and diligent classmate. Although she always gets scared up about exams we have never known her to fail , which shows that she should have more faith in her abilities. Virginia is well versed in the mysteries of the screen, being an arden.t admire r of many stars and a regular movie fan. She is also very fond of letter writing, considering the number of epistles that she writes at school. We do not know Virginia 's ambition but we wish , for her great success in life. Glee Club, '20. ANNIE HANKINS Roanoke, Virginia "What care I DJhen I can lie and res t, Kill tim e, and ta~e life al its l!er.Y best?" Sometimes known as "Hawkins." The old rule "Early to bed and early to rise," has never been observed by her. She entertains (whom?) late and then sleeps until car time so that she takes her morning exercise dashing for the Salem car. Hawkins is sensible, having wriggled leisurely through all her books, taking in. their contents by the comfortable process of absorption. Thus until June and then - - -- ? Class Artist, '20. ( 14 ) �THE ORACLE EVELYN WINIFRED SPIGGLE Salem, Virginia "She is, indeed, perfection." It would require many volumes to enumera te Evelyn's many excellent qualities. There is not a single thing that she does not do pe rfec tly. W e feel confiden.l that her life out in the world will be just as successful as her scho ol days. Her tran sla tions of fEneid are so fluent that we have heard Miss Jones say on one occasion that Evel yn tran slate d it better than she did . Evelyn is not only blessed with a marvelous in.t ellecl, but also an abundant supply of good looks. As val edictorian of the Class of '20 she crowns her successful career at Salem Hi gh.

WHEELER HURT BOARD Salem, Virginia "There wasn't a minute When Wheeler wasn't in it." Wheeler, by so me happy faculty, knows exac tly how to gel what he wants and hi s chief attractions are hi s magneti c sm il e and flirtatious eyes. His cheerful di sposit ion a nd willy remarks keep us a ll in a good humor. " Fat, " who is strongly opposed to prohibition in any form, is bending all his ene rgies to its repeal. Wheeler is grea tly inte rested in a thle ti cs, having been. cap tain of the football team for the pa st season. W e do not find many fauhs. in him, but we think it is rather inconsistent with th e di gnity of a S enior to shoot "crap" and indul ge in rec kless betting!

( tS ) �THE ORACLE WINNIE 0NILIA LITTRELL Salem, Virginia "Life's a jest and all things show it; I thought it once and now I qnow it." Winnie is our happy-go-lucky classmate who never sees the tragic side of anything, even when she misses her lessons, or when she talks lo some mystery man over the telephone as if she had always known him, only to find afterwards she didn't. Perhaps she will soon be not only a private secretary, but the cheer-all committee for her employer. Glee Club, '20. JULIA COVINGTON GUNN Salem, Virginia "/ challer, chatter as I go." Julia is not a gossip, but she is endowed with a woman's tongue, with which she makes herself quite useful to her Class sometimes. She reads plenty of pap e rs and magazines so that she acts as an encycloped:a on all subjects, especially "Social Problems." When we · don't know a lesson we ask Julia to talk and the lesson is forgotten in her rapid Row of words. Her greatest hope will be realized when R. C. is a co-ed school. Gl ee Club, '20. ! JG J �THE ORACLE VILUS NAOMI STANLEY Vinton, Virg:nia "With mirth and laughter let old wrinqles come." This maiden's sense of humor bubbles over no matter what the occasion. She has been known to laugh even during one of Miss Jones's most fearful outbursts. Who has not been cheered by Vilus's bright face and rea dy smile? We hop e Vinton will send many more daughters like Vilus to S. H. S. Vice President Class, '20. NANNIE REBE CCA SLUSHER Chatham Hill, Virginia " In each chccq appears a prclt}! dimp le; Love made those h ollows."' The only thing that ever disturbs Nanni e's peace of mind is that she can't decide which of two certain young men she loves. We think she will decide to remain a spinster and to serve humanity by nursing a t Ro anoke College in all the "flu" epidemics. Glee Club, '20. ( I7 ) �THE ORACLE EMIL y LOUISE KESLER Salem, Virginia "A creature not loo bright or good For human nature's daily food." Emily digs not over deeply, but assimilates what she digs. While a girl she will continue in her best loved sport, swimming, but when she shall begin her serious life work, she will stand with a blackboard behind her and a host of aspiring mathematicians before her, imbibing her instructions as to how to figure well in the world. Glee Club, '20. GEORGE FREDERICK POTEET Roanoke, Virginia "/ am ignorant in what I am commanded." We were indee d please d to learn that Fred had come back to graduate at S. H. S. after spending a year at Roanoke, Fred is very much envied because he leaves sc hool at one o'clo ck, but he works hard during the time he does spend here. Especially do we admire "Taler's" pluc k in pursuing th e study of mathematics and fac:ng the problems of Trigonometry. It is hoped that he may soon gel up enough courage to translate Latin with out stumbling, as that tends to spoil his translation. We wish for "George" grea t success a l whateve r school he chooses lo continue his studies. ( 18 ) �THE ORACLE BEULAH LAURA ]AMES R. F. D. No . 3, Roanoke , Va. "Silence is more musical than an:y song.'" Any kind of whim may strike the Seniors. They go off at various tangents. But one keeps pegging away at the same old thing. You cannot jar Beulah. She even gives a lecture as easily as if she were talking lo her best beau, for which the more nervous of us envy her, and she never loses her head during a class meeting. We predict for her a happy and peaceful life which we all deserve after these four years of strenuous work. JULIA GILES BRYAN Salem, Virginia ""Wh ence is th:y learning ? Hath th:y toil O'er booqs consumed th:y midnight oil.J'" ""Judy's'' one ambition is lo be a kindergarten teacher and we know she will be a good one. The children will love her and she will lead them in the way they should grow, for her goodness cannot help but impress the wildest child. She will go lo Baltimore next year and our best wishes shall go with her. Glee Club, '20. ( 19 ) �THE ORACLE MAYME MYRTLE REYNOLDS Roanoke, Virginia "Sometimes I sci and thinq And other times I just set." Mayme delighls us all by her perfect recital of definilions. While we try (usually in vain) lo express them in our own words, Mayme is silling ready to save the reputalion of the Class by giving the words of the book. She hasn't told us what she expecls lo do but, from what we hear, her hearl will probably remain at Villa Heights. CHARLES LEWIS ]AMES Salem, Virginia "Thou Illas I as true a /olJer As elJer sighed upon a midnight pillow." We don't know exaclly what causes that far-away look Charles's eyes somelimes, but we think he dreams of some fair maiden who is modest and inconspicuous, because he has shown. 1hat he does not like the "vampire" type . H~ has been threatened, though, and if he is not careful he will lose his modesty and become a "ladies' man." in Gle e Club, '20. ( 20 ) �THE ORACLE ALICE MACDONALD SCHOFIELD Salem, Virginia "She is gentle, she is shy, But there's mischief in her eye." Here is a lit1le maid who is one of the most popular in our Class, for she is every bit as sweet as she looks. Alice was never known to agree with her classmates, but we appreciate her worth in the "cute" lit1le suggestions she offers. She is an excellent giggler and is always ready to appreciate the fun in life, in school and elsewhere. Her career at S. H. S. is one continuous record of smashed hearts but she goes calmly on her way regardless of many yearning looks cast after her. Alice is an earnest supporter of athletics and we are sure she has cheered many a brave heart to victory.

WILLIAM ALEXANDER OAKEY Salem, Virginia "Many boo/es, wise men have said, arc wearisom e." Alex is one of the jolly good fellows of our Class. He does not believe in studying, or worrying ove r such unimportant things, besides he has so many business engagements that he never has time to study. As the business manager of the Annual, he has spent much of hi s time this year. Alex is ardently devoted to athletics, having played quarter back on the football eleven. Of late he has developed a very undignified giggle, because of which he has been repeatedly reprimanded. But, really, we could never have survived without Alex, who is an indispensable element of our Class.

( 21 ) �THE ORACLE Senior Class Poem Four years, and now the goal Of that for which we've toiled. Our victory's won and heavy is the toll Of hostile foes despoiled. Now for the crest of radiant success. In retrospect we gaze And pridefully, as always, we shall bless Our High School days. Classmates and teachers, too, How can our tongues command The thoughts that rise, unbidden, to pursue When we disband? Our problems and our triumphs both we've shared And met with changeless mien; The goal is won; we say with pride we dared To strive to reign supreme! But while we sing in triumph of the end, Of strife scholastic o'er, A sterner master beckons us attend His call to Life's wide door. Laurels and victories Have crowned our present study. "Retreat" of schooldays brings upon the breeze, The "Reveille" of Duty. -Poet. ( 22 ) �THE ORACLE Senior Class History IFTY-EIGHT bright and hopeful children were we on that memorable day in September, 1916, when we became the Freshmen of S. H. S. But only thirty of us remain to share the joys and calamities and-dignity that come to Seniors. Had they known what fame we were destined to win, those who fell discouraged by the wayside would have kept faith until the end, we are sure. That first year we were filled with chagrin because even the Sophomores looked upon us with contempt, but we soon commanded the proper attention and consideration due respectable "Rats." After a year's accumulation of wisdom and knowledge we became Sophs and "Upper Classmen" with the privilege of hazing the "Rats." We also won Miss Jones' s favor by reading Cesar so fluently (?). As Juniors we were a notable Class. We assumed our rank without conceit and shouldered the great responsibility of being Juniors. Alex proved to be a splendid president and although we had many radical class meetings he always brought about peace by his common-sense reasoning. That year the Class divided, some following the teachings of Miss Jones in Latin and others chose the "short" history course under Miss Duncan. We showed great interest in all ' our work so that we knew many interesting things about Chemistry and Shakespeare and had amassed such a vast French vocabulary that we could say a few things, although we had to speak very laconically. The only great social function of the year was the Junior-Senior reception. Our last year carries with it a certain halo of interest and dignity which the former years lacked. We have reached the dizzy heights of Seniors! This year has not been a bed of roses, though! We have had an excess amount of collateral reading, short story writing, lectures and other time-consuming objects. We must have plays, candy and sandwich sales and anything else to make money so that we shall not have a financial crash. Sometimes, too, it is rumored that there is a little Bolshevism among us, but we know that F c c3 ) �THE 0 RAC L .E it is a false and unjust report, for we have always taken a firm stand against such principles. These few unimportant troubles have not dampened our spirits by any means, for our optimism and good sense always carry us over any rough place at which we might stumble and our happiness has outmeasured our unhappiness · many times. We chose Roy as our last president and time has proved that we did not make a mistake. He has been successful in all his work except that no number of f~rceful words that he might use could get our rings here on time. In brief, our history has been told. We thank those who have taught us and hope that in the future they will not begrudge the trouble we have caused them. Any trouble they may have had on our account certainly has not been intentional. Now that the end has come and we say farewell to S. H. S. how many pleasant memories come to us as we look back over the four years we have spent here! -Historian. ( 24 ) �THE ORACLE Class Will NOW all men by these presents, that we, the Senior Class of 1920, of Salem High School, Salem, Virginia, on this, the 19th day of March, desiring to make disposition of the innumerable privileges and pleasures enjoyed by us as members of this institution, do make, ordain and declare this our last Will and Testament.

Change cars for Philadelphia," shouted the porter. Could it really be possible that I was drawing near to the home of my old school chum, Imogen? It was no dream, for in a minute Roy was taking my bag and hurrying me through the gates to be grabbed and danced madly about by his wife. He and Imogen had been living in Baltimore since their marriage two years before. At the end of an hour we had lunched and were again passing through the station gates ahead for the Washington Car. Roy had been called to the Surgeon General's ·office on business and Imogen was entertaining me with the trip. We were walking slowly through the Capitol grounds that afternoon while waiting when we heard a clatter down the marble steps and here came Roy dragging a girl very undignifiedly behind him. W e stood for a minute in amazement then rushed forward and saw none other than Virginia, stenographer in the Surgeon General's office. We talked incoherently at first, so many thin gs had happened since we parted at High School five years ago. Suddenly a wild idea from Virginia sent all of us flying in the direction of the telegraph office. A telephone call to William, a growing politician in the Capital City, brought him to our aid. At the end of two hours we had sent ten telegrams and had received answers to them all. Alex wired that diplomatic business called him at once to China, and that his immediate departure prevented his giving any time to social activities. B. S. was plowing up the hillsides of Catawba, a task from which the bright lights of the wonderful city had no power to lure him. While B eulah ( 27 ) �THE \ ORACLE James and Winnie, in overalls, preferred being farmerettes to joining sightseers in the gay city of New York. Emily was too absorbed in teaching domestic science in a rural school near Bent Mountain to leave, and a message from Emma's mother said that she was in Chicago, training for her big lecture on the Chautauqua platform. There was no use wiring Julia Bryan, as she for the past year had been in China with her husband who was a medical missionary. It was equally as unnecessary to try to get in touch with Charles who was there with Barnum and Bailey Circus as a bareback rider and chief trapeze actor. Nannie Haynes, who had been studying institutional management for four years, was just beginning her tour of lectures to superintendents of orphanages and their wives. Certainly no Nun would be allowed to walk the streets of New York unchaperoned, so poor Julia Gunn, who had broken so many college boys' hearts and who finally had her own broken by a fascinating youth, was forced to stay in her convent where she had taken refuge. Ruth, who had married millions and was living on Long Island, wired with the ease of the idle rich, that she would join us on our lark. Fred was teaching law at Harvard and found it convel)ient to meet us in Central Park at the appointed hour. Evelyn was sailing within a week for England to claim her Count husband, and was delighted at the thought of meeting us. Even if so many of our number were unable to come, the reunion promised not to be a failure, because of those of our Class who were already established in New York. The next day, from the Grand Central Station, we took a Grant bus up Riverside Drive, which put us within a few blocks of Columbia. It was after class hours, so it was only a matter of a few minutes until Vilus, instructress in Math and Latin at the famous university, had swelled the enthusiastic group. Passing St. Luke's, we found Nannie Slusser off duty and the six of us hastened towards Forty-second Street. A five-minute walk brought us to Fifth Avenue and the famous Beauty Shop, Mary Garden, run by our old friend M ayme. It looked strange to see Mayme so perfectly coiffured and groomed, imparting the latest tricks in beauty to her patrons. She needed no persuasion to join us. Two doors from the Mary Garden was an exclusive fashion shop. ( 28 ) As we �THE ORACLE entered the door, the curtains parted in the rear and an exquisitely gowned figure displayed the charms of a late French model. The living model ·took our eye and we all rushed forward screaming, "Margaret! Margaret!" This might have proven unfortunate for Margaret had not Annie been owner of the shop. For two years she had been recognized as the second Lady DuffGordon. We almost broke up the shop but in the end had our way and Margaret and Annie also joined us. We left the fashion shop, very happy and gay, on our way to Central Park where we were to meet Fred. While waiting for him we saw quite a crowd gathered around two people, so we thought we would see what was causing the excitement. When we reached the scene we could hardly believe our eyes, for there were Maude, the great W. C. T. U. lecturer, and Wheeler, a very noted prohibitionist, who were touring the country in behalf of the good work. All excited at seeing their old school chums again, they forgot their speeches and came down from their soap boxes in order to join the crowd. It was nearly si~ o'clock, so it was decided that we would go somewhere for tea. We saw down the street a little further a very quaint little shop with a big electric sign in front of it, "Goodwin and Kirk." We looked with wondering eyes; could this possibly be some more schoolmates? Still dazed, we went in and sure enough this shop was run by Lucy and Hallie, who had already made their way in "Old New Yark." And we were more surprised than ever when we saw Beulah Garst, as quiet and innocent as ever, making excuses to the patrons when the pie wasn't just right or the tea a little too strong. It seems that Beulah had been with the others only a week but w e knew that she too would make good. We told them of our plan to take in the "Ziegfeld F allies" and they promised to go with us. In two or three hours the crowd made their way to the theater. The orchestra was playing when we entered and as soon as we were seated the curtain rose and a very graceful dancer appeared. Every person in the audience was held spellbound by her marvelous toe-dancing. As she moved forward on the stage we saw that it was Alice. She had studied abroad and was now the most famous dancer in New Yark. After the show we went around to the stage door to see Alice and we planned to go to a Cabaret for midnight supper and a froli c. All that week they were having some special music. A very noted violinist was booked, and ( 29 ) �THE ORACLE who was to be his accompanist? No other than Catherine. All of us had thought that Catherine would make an accomplished musician and now she had proven our anticipation to be correct. It was wonderful for so many of us to be together again and we talked over and discussed old times. It was getting late and we had to part, but surely we were content, for this was The End of a Perfect Day. ( 30 ) �~-;:==================================~ I UNDLR.

( 34 ) �THE ORACLE Junior Class History M EEK was the band of "Rats" that were seen to gather at S. H. S. on that memorable day in September of '17. The Sophs lost no time in pulling off their regular "Rat" schemes. Soon our noble boys made a record in basket-ball and we were recognized as being of real "stuff" although we were only "Rats." Gradually wending our way we became Sophs. What does that mean? Only this. There were campaigns to be carried on with c~sar; however, with Miss Jones as our ally, he was soon conquered. Also let us mention our success at finding the wonders and meaning of H~O. Through Miss Duncan's encouragement and suggestions we became very popular Sophomores and this reputation we have carried on with us to our present Class. We have been told by a former English teacher that the Juniors are always the goat, but we believe we have proved an exception. We feel that we are no less popular since becoming Juniors than when we were Sophs or even "Rats." Under such circumstances we may say that we have come this far safely. The hard tasks have not been shunned. "We have met the enemy and they are ours." It is not the part of the historian to speak of the future; however, I wish to predict for our Class a most brilliant career. In the distant future, the stars of the "Class of '21" will shine not dimly through the mist, but ever brightly. Many have been the fears realized, yet we have steadily pressed on, ever keeping before us the motto, "Esse quam videri." With such ideals, we confidently expect to win and to go out loyal sons to fight our Eeveral battles of life. - Historian .

( 28 ) �THE ORACLE Sophomore Class History N September, I 9 I 8, the Class of I 922 entered Salem High School with 50 members enrolled. We we~e a little scared at first but soon settled down to hard work. There were neither football nor basket-ball teams last fall and winter but the school had an excellent baseball team in the spring with only a few members from our Class. But what we lacked in athletics we made up for in our studies. During the present year, with Miss Duncan as our teacher and leader, we have stood out well in all the drives made, living up to our already-made reputation. This year we were introduced to Ccesar by our able instructress, Miss Jones. To most of us Ccesar is a friend, but by some he is regarded as a bitter enemy. Miss Jones has prohibited our hazing the "Rats" this year which we think rather hard on us but we have been taught to regard her better judgment and do so. This year we have shown to the rest of the school that we have some talented pupils who have made known their talents in the Lyceum and this has made us very proud to have them as classmates. This y ear, unlike last year, there was a football team and there is a basket-ball team and fine prospects for a baseball team with plenty of trips and although we have not w on any titles yet we hope to soon. The Sophomores have a reputation for going "over the top" in a ll the school activities. We were I 00 per cent. membership in the Junior Red C ross and Athletic Association and when our big drive was made for the Athletic Fund our Class led the school. Also we were the first Class to orga nize a Thrift Club. Just watch the "Sophs"-we're coming. I - Historian.

( 42 ) �THE ORACLE Freshman History WAS class historian and was trying to write the history with half a dozen of my classmates sitting in the room talking and gossiping as even girls will do. My mind simply would not concentrate on the Class History which, when I attempted to write it, became even more terrible than Myers's Ancient History. Finally, I jumped up, stopped the interesting conversation about the organization of the Camp Fire Girls, and cried, "Girls, you must help me write this history, it has to go in to-night!" "Well," offered Sarah, "we entered Salem High School on September the 9, 1919, and-" "And yes!" broke in Hilda, "there were forty-three of us and we were scared to death. The boys were scared worse than the girls, though." "Wasn't it a big joke on the 'Sophs' that Miss Jones cut out hazing?" "Lucky for us," commented Anne Thompson. "Charlotte," said Vesta, "be sure and mention in your history that when the first election for the officers of the Lyceum was held one of our members, Wilma Cross, was made Vice President and that another nominee was also from our Class. We are rather proud of that, you know." "And while you are writing about societies," put in Dorothy, "you must remember that our Class organized one that met every two weeks. We had good programs, too, and always had a newspaper staff that prepared a paper containing editorials, jokes, current events, society news and short stories." "Then," exclaimed Burnelle, "don't forget that we went over the top in the Red Cross Drive !" "Yes, and be sure and remember to put down in big letters all about our valuable contributions to the Athletic Association," said Hilda. "The proceeds of the pie and candy sales," said Anne Thompson. "Yes," interrupted Hazel, "in speaking of the boys in our Class, p lease remember they played basket-ball with the B section of the Sophomore Class and won. We can boast some future stars in the Athletic Line!" "And please! Charlotte, while you are on the subject of boys," cried Wilma, "don't forget the most important and the most disappointing epoch in I ( 43 ) �THE ORACLE our school history, the separation of the boys and girls while 'Rats' in the High School." After this there was a general sigh followed by silence among the girls. The one tragedy of our Freshman year had been touched. Finally our spirits were lifted from gloom by our hopeful Sarah. "Ah," she murmured, "won't it be perfectly wonderful when the Class of Black and Gold graduates in 1923 ?" After this the girls went out, leaving me alone and wondering if I could ever put these facts into a History that could do justice to our Freshman Class. -Historian.

Every member of the school is present at the semi-monthly meetings, which are held on Friday afternoon. This year the meetings have seemed unusually enjoyable. Perhaps this is true because the Society was practically discontinued last year, owing to the influenza epidemic. We have learned to expect good programs and we are rarely, if ever, disappointed. The training which is received through this Society is invaluable. The participants in the program are the only ones who do not fully realize this! The "Rats" soon learn there is nothing in the sound of their own voices which they need fear. And then they, too, join in the glad sigh which is heaved spontaneously when Miss Jones announces, "Lyceum meeting this afternoon." A special program was rendered Christmas and the public responded to the invitation to attend as if they, too, were expecting a pleasant evening and we hope they were not disappointed. After the program a little play was given which was rather a success although the clock did not strike and some of the debutantes were a little nervous at first. However, we intend to overcome all these faults and make Salem High School Lyceum as proud of us as we are of it.

Can we go?" Mr. Dean, Buddy's father, had eaten a very heavy Thanksgiving dinner that day, to say nothing of an equally indigestible supper and consequently he was not in a humor to be disturbed, while taking his nightly smoke preparatory to retiring. He took the pipe out of his mouth, uncrossed his legs and frowned at Buddy. . "You and Tom will be a deal better off at home," he said. "Lost Man's Cave is no place for a couple of kids to be ranting around and wasting time when they ought to be at home helping around the house." "But Dad," answered Buddy with a surprised and disappointed look, "we were kind of countin' on goin' just to have a good time, and see what we could find in the cave. An' T om'll be awfully disappointed if you don't let us go. I'm fifteen years old and I guess I've got sense enough not to get lost." "Well, you can't go," snapped his father, "you think because you are fifteen years old, that you have the wisdom of Solomon and can't do anything wrong.

' "But Dad," began Buddy, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, "That'll do. Go on upstairs and go to bed. Tom went half an hour ago." Buddy went out and slammed the door behind him. He went up to the room which he shared with Tom and on going in slammed the door so hard that he woke up Tom, who turned over and muttered sleepily, "What the Sam Hill's the matter, Bud?" . . · "Shut up," said Buddy as he threw his coat in the chair and began jerking off his collar. But Tom was sound asleep again. Buddy continued to throw things right and left and to mutter to himself. But suddenly an idea struck him. He caught himself when just about to sling his shoe across the room and held it poised in mid-air. Presently he set it down gently and began to undress in a more leisurely manner. Yes, he was fully decided now-his father needn't know anything about it. He could slip out the back way and get back by dinner time without anybody being the wiser. He decided not to take Tom along. He would like as not "blab" to his father and make things that much worse. Little kids only got in the way. Buddy was full of planning as to ways and means of getting to the cave which was about ten miles from home. He lay awake a long time thinking how he would fool his father and have a good time into the bargain. Buddy had disobeyed his father and here he was at the cave. He had brought a hatchet and a ball of cord as well as a lantern, but matches in his hurried departure, he had forgotten; however, he happened to have just one in his pocket. It was an easy matter to take the hatchet and pry open the door which had been put at the opening of the cave to keep children out. Buddy struck the match and lit the lantern and after tying an end of the cord to the door and dropping the ball into his pocket so that it might unwind easily, passed through the door and started into the dark mouth of the cave. As he proceeded he began to wish that he had brought his brother, Tom, along after all. Even Chum, the collie, would have been good company, but he had shut him up in the barn to keep him from following him and attracting attention to his departure by barking. (Chum always barked when he was allowed to leave home in company with his young master.) But Buddy was too much of a man to turn back when he had come this far , merely because the cave was dark and lonesome, so he buttoned up his coat and resolutely started forward among the passages. ( 49 ) \ �THE ORACLE Ghostly shadows were thrown here and there by the uncertain light of the lantern. They danced mockingly as he advanced and were even more mockingly silent and still when-he stopped. He paused now and then as if uncertain whether to go on or turn back, and on doing so he became aware of the silent drip, drip, drip of the water in remote parts of the cavern. That steady unending drip wearied him and each time he quickly started ahead again, so that the sound of his footsteps might drown it out. He never went very far, however, before the very fascination of the thing would cause him to pause again and listen to that unearthly sound, the steady silent drip, drip of water. In one of these pauses, he was nearly startled out of his senses by a low moan, that seemingly came from somewhere behind him, and he wheeled so quickly that he almost dropped his lantern. H e peered into the darkness, but could see nothing; he listened but heard nothing except that unending drip. He thought of Sam Jones and pictured to himself Sam wandering about through the passages with no companion but that drip, drip, drip, drip in the darkness! Lifting the lantern with trembling fingers he looked at it and then around him at the ghostly shadows it cast. Good heavens! Did Sam Jones have to wander for hours without a light? Just then the moan was repeated and it seemed that it was almost at his elbow. Buddy jumped and fell headlong. The lantern fell a few feet away and was extinguished. But Buddy didn't think of the lantern. He got up and started to run- it made no difference in what direction, anywhere to get away from that d readful spot. H e was suddenly brought up against the walls of the cavern. Buddy was trembling from head to foot. H e thought of the ball of cord and felt in his pocket with trembling fingers. It was gone! There was no light and he was compelled to stand in the darkness not knowing in what part of the cave he was or what to do next. The only sound was that unending drip, drip, drip, drip-it seemed that he must be going mad. And now there was another sound; it was the beating of his heart-thump! thump! thump! And then still another sound- that low moan. He knew what it was now ; it was the moaning of the wind. It began in a low , humanlike tone that gradually increased until the cave was filled with a fearful shrieking and groaning that subsided into a low moan, and then all was silent again, except the drip of the water and the beating of his heart. Hark! W hat was that? H e heard footsteps. They were getting nearer. Pat, pat, pat. The thing seemed almost on him. At last it passed him and from the sound of the footsteps it passed right through the solid wall of earth ( so ) �THE ORACLE that he was leaning against. Buddy decided he could not stand the strain any longer. He rushed forward. He ran faster and faster until it seemed that the wind itself could not catch him. But he ran with nothing to guide him. All of a sudden and before he knew what had happened to him he stepped off the brink of a deep pit-ran into space so to speak. He felt himself falling and gave himself up for lost. Down! down! down! Would he never reach the bottom? Crash! Thump! "What's the matter?" called Mr. Dean, from the foot of the stairs. "Nothin' only Buddy's fell out o' bed," said Tom, who had been aroused from his slumbers. \ SI ) �Teddy, or the Runaways CAST OF CHARACTERS Jean Maclean, Little Miss Fixit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

REGINALD WALTHALL , THOMAS GRESHAM The Play T HE play opens with a pretty morning scene on the Tau Cross Ranch owned by Max Juniper. Jean MacLean, the pretty and vivacious daughter of the governor, co mes in from an early ride, her arms filled with wild roses, and breakfast progresses under the- auspices of Mrs. Juniper, a young wife very much in love with her husband , and the musically-inclined T exana, the hired girl. Max leaves to break in three new Greasers, and Alonzo Willing, the six-times-rejected suitor of Jea n, makes his Thursday call, bringing his weekly offering of candy. A young couple, calling themselves Mr. Keegan and Miss Keegan, arrive in a gray touring car and stop for gasoline. The sheriff of the county, Jim Larrabee, and two deputies come in pursuit of two diamond thieves and are locked in the cellar by the resourceful Jean, while Texana stands on guard with poker and carving knife. It finally develops, after many amusing mistakes, that "Miss Keegan" is a famous writer of detective stories in search of a new plot, and has stolen her own diamonds. Alonzo and T exana, who have been handcuffed together, are released and the new detective story is dedicated to Jean and T exana. ( .i2 J ��THE ORACLE .·/ I t •/ ;.1 r;: - r Glee Club THE Glee Club is a new organization in the High School and has become very popular among the students. The Club has been most fortunate in having Miss Duncan to direct them in the singing and she has been untiring in her efforts to help us. The chorus singing has greatly improved since the organization of the Club and the former indifference towards music has entirely disappeared. Every Wednesday afternoon the Club meets for practice and favors the citizens living near school with their attempts in learning to sing. But these kind neighbors have complimented the singing of the Club members and their efforts are not in vain. May the Glee Club have the best of success and become the best organized society in the school. ( 5,1 ) �THE ORACLE Home Nursing Class AT the close of 1920 semester Salem will be well supplied and perhaps overflowing with competent nurses, who have received their training at Salem High. Miss Naomi Blosser, our community nurse, has been the efficient instructress of this class. The members have been carefully taught how to nurse influenza, and other diseases and Salem will be adequately prepared in case of another epidemic. Great enthusiasm has been manifested in the pursuit of this subject and Salem has been most fortunate in obtaining Miss Blosser, who is ever patient with her amateur pupils. ( 55 ) ���THE ORACLE ·1 1 Athletic Association WILLIAM EARLY . ... . . . ... . . . . . ... President MARGARET NORRIS .... . . .. ... .. .. Secretary FOOTBALL I N spite of the fact that Salem High School was handicapped in many ways, we look back over our football record with pride. To begin with, not a letter man returned, the team consisting entirely of new material. We were not able to secure a regular coach; at first the services of "Jim" Griffin were secured, but he was soon called away, and then Marvin Cawley, a former S. H. S. star, came to the rescue, and remained until the season closed. But under these difficulties, the team worked hard and faithfully, and the result was that they rounded into shape a splendid team. The first game . was with Pulaski High, and when the final whistle blew, it ended 24-0 in Salem's favor. In some of the other games we were not so fortunate, but we are looking for better things next year, as only three men will be lost by graduation. BASKET-BALL As in football, this was made up of entirely new material also. Salem High did not have a basket-ball team last year, for various reasons, but the boys practiced out of doors and in small buildings so they might be able to have a ( SR ) �THE ORACLE team worth while this year. We were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Douglas Bunting as coach. The first game was with New London Academy and it ended 26-20 in our favor. The next game was with Rocky Mount High School and in this we were also victorious. In the game with Rural Retreat we came out on top. Instead of saving the best until last-now comes the worst. Roanoke High, our old rivals, won from us in both games. The first score being 28-15 in their favor, and the second game being 28-22. We were not so fortunate in the game with Randolph-Macon, but next year the team expects to even matters up. With Stephens as Center, McClung and Burch as forwards, and Barnett and Woods as Guards, Salem High's team has done unusually well, and we are justly proud of them. BASEBALL On account of the Annual going to press before the baseball season has begun, only a prospective view can be given. All of last year's team have returned with the exception of two, who were lost by graduation. We hope to be able to boast of our team this year as we did last year; for then they whipped every team in this part of the State, including our old rivals, Roanoke. I. D. Chapman of Roanoke College has b een secured to coach the team. Burch will again be seen in the pitcher's box slinging the ball as usual, and with other material, such as Woods, Barnett, Chapman, Board, Hurt, and Oakey we cannot help but feel proud of our prospects, and all this gives Salem High justifiable hope in expecting many victories in the "Great American Game" this spring. Go to it, Big Tearn, and show 'em what you can do. ( 59 ) �THE OR A CLE Football . ..... . ..... . .. .. . . .. .. .. . .. . .. .. . ... . Cap tain W H EELE R BOARD . . . . . .

Th e Class of '24, numberin g 112 at th e start , had com e fro m far and near seeking t o reach a higher plane of culture a nd kn owledge We gravely felt t he resoonsibilitv of bein P" R ats, whi ch was impressed un on u s by occasional slams from th e uppe1~ classrn e.n, and we soo n learned t he m ea nin g of the carefull y carved paddl es a nd the book st raps. Our onl y hope was the fact that we should some day be bloody Sophs. The first few days proved a perfect nightmare. Ever ything was n e\\. to u s , and we were even separated from our dearest fri end s, sim ply because our nam es began with an S instead of a B. H owever, we were soon acc lim ated a ncl \\" C b ecame organized, being officiall y known as t he Freshman C lass. 0 11r cla ss was so large that it was necessary to organize a separate Lyceum. Near the cl ose of the year we were solemnly united to tbe Upper Class L yceum b y a m ock wedd in g. '. When we had graduated from the realm of Ratdorn, a nd had becom e Sophomores, we felt ourselves qui te important in the role of famo us people . 1N e soon became recognized through our spirited athl etic a nd li terary activ iti es, ancl through om class spirit and co-operation. In all t hese quali tiC's we ha ve pro vecl ourse lves efficient. Our social fetes of the year were a Seance Par ty fo r the Seniors and our class hike to Duiguit's Lane. In our Junior year we numbered 92. Again we were d ivided, but t hi s did not affect our class spirit . we even excelled the hi gh standard s of fo rm er Juni or s, ever kept before us by our t eachers, Miss McConkcy a nd Miss Dunca n. The J unior-Senior reception in th e spring of '23 proved a great success, both to guests and hostess. At last we have attained t he heights of Seniority. W e a rc now a class of s ixtyfour dignified Seniors, with Ben Chapman as president. vV c made n o mi s t a k e in electing him president , fo r he has been very successful, except for hi s in abi li ty to make himself heard above the roar and din of our frequent class m eetings . In athletics we are hard to beat. Many stars have developed from among our ranks in all three sports. We have also seen th e organi:;:ation of the first girl s' basket ball team of S. H. S., which will go out to win honors fo r our Alma Mater. In li terary com petitions we have won fame. Surely we a rc experi en ced public speakers, due to the ext ensive par t icipation in th e activities of the variou s English clubs and Lycemns. T o t hese honors we must a dd that of being th e I I ~ -I "'I' Thirty �fi rs t class to graduate in the new audi torium , wb ich has added so much to the value of our school.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB ,,' Fifty 'I �Vocational Agriculture MR. A. T. LEWARK, Instructor This course, as outlined b elow, makes orovision for four vears of secondarv grade work and offers a well-round ed course, since one-half of the time is devoted t o the academic, or n on-vocati onal subj ects. Th e vocational work averages a bout three hours per clay for nine month s. though part of thi s time m ay be put in on the super vised project carried out on the home farm. This project must b e conducted through a period of at least six m onth s, though it is highly d esirable that it continue t hrough twelve months. Th e superv ised project each year must b e related to the subj ect matter studied for th at year; for instance, since th e vocational work for the first year is Plant Production, the project fo r thi s year is a Plant Production project; the second ear it must be an Animal Husbandry project. E ach year in which fann shop is taught the work is correlated wit h t h e agricult ural subj ects studied. ;.1 COURSE OF STUDY, VOCATIONAL AGRI CU LT U RE First Year: Non- 11acn.11:ona l 11ocational English A lgebra General Science Plant Production Farm Shop \1\Tork Supervised Project Second Year: En glish P la n e Geom etry Economic Geograph y Animal Production Farm Shop \Ti,Tork Superv ised Project Thi rel Year: Eno ]ish Fa1~11 Arithmetic a nd Bookkeeping Huma n Biology Horticult ure a nd Farm l\ll anagement Supervised Project Fourth Year: English Hi story and Civics C hemistry or Ph ysics Rural Engineerin g F arm Managem ent Rural Economics Super vised Project Total Academic Units 16.

Treasurer The Athletic Association was organized in Salem High in 1915 to support and stimulate interest in the athletics in Salem High School. At th e beginning of each school year new officers are elected to serve for one complete session. The membership was good this year, but it could have been better. The Senior Class was the only one to reach the hundred per cent mark. However, the other classes came very near going over the top. With the co-operation and support of the entire student body, the Athletic Association next year should do even more efficient work in promoting athletics. ·.1 ':I I '.I > Fifty -jnur �,I L. E. KIBLER, Coach. Coach Kibl er ha s been with u s two years, and in t ha t time he has achieved great success in training strong, representative teams of Salem High. As a result of his effort s, athletics has taken nevv life, and the first girls' basket ball t eam since 1918 has been organized. Better and clean athletics are expected in future years under our effici ent coach . ' �' Football The first game of the year confirmed t h e beli ef of ma n:; t hat Sa lem T-Ti)!h was to have a great football season. The initia l fra~· was \\·ith Lh e 1~ na n o ke Coll ege Junior Varsity team and end ed 25 to 0 fo r Salem. Rand olph-Macon Acad em y was t he next to fa ll. Bedford and t he score was 27 t o 0. Th e gam e \\'aS pla\·ecl in Th e followin g week we met th e strong Dublin tea m in Sal em a ncl ha d a tou gh time keeping t hem from crossing t he t hin \\·hite lin e. Our m otto or battl e cry was, " Th ey shall not score'" and it was t he cJ etern1i nat ion to u pholcl th e m ot to that made Salem fi ght and hold Dublin on t he t\rn ya rd li ne fo r four clom1 s, after one of their men had gotten away with a long pass a nd placed th e ball with in scoring distance. 'When th e fo ur downs' \\·e re u p, t he ball was on th e se\T n ~· a r c! line instead of th e two. Deni t pun ted out to safe ty . Jn thi s game. \ Vil bornc . star halfback and captain, su ffered a di slocated shou lder. a nd was forced Lo remain out for th e rest of the season. Sh erertl~ was t hen elected ca ptai n for th e rest of th e year. B y defeating Blacksburg t he next Saturday, the team a nnexed a not her scoreless victory. Blacksburg put up a stubborn resista nce, but could not with s ta nd the continu ous plunges of t he Salem backs, and Lh e resul t was : Sa lem 14, Bl ack sburg 0. Th e next game was with Bristol and was to decide t he cha mpi onship of Lh c Fifth Distri ct, each team havi ng eliminati::d all ot her contesta nts in the ir respect ive sections. Th e game was played in Salem . a nd Bristol opened up with a rush t hat scored a touchdow n in the first half. T wo successful passes in t he second quarter were responsible fo r the counter. Bri stol di splayed heady and scrappy football , whil e Salem seemed to lack th e proper charvin g abi lit y a nd l o b e playing too much on t he defensive. However , when th e second half opened , it seem ed like there was an entirely new team on t he fi eld. Th e brJys were a li lLl e shaken by t he fact t hat a team had crossed t heir goal line. In fact U1c>' were mad about it and determin ed to go back and show t hat crew from Bri stol how to play football. The characteristic punch was back, and in a litll c t im e Salem shoved t he ball across Bri stol's line. Th e score was now (j to G, both team s failing in t he try for point. Th e remaind er of the gam e was a fi ght, bo t h t eam s puttin g out everythin g th ey had, and Salem threatened to score again t oward s t he la st. The ball was carri ed to Bristol's five yard line a nd lost, after a failure b y ha lf a foot to make the necessary distance on fou r clowns. T he game end ed with t he championship unset tled . F1fly-six . �,. I ·. .. J Th e foll owing week Salem defeated Christians b urg High in Salem b y the score of 2.'i to 0. On ce m ore Salem and Bristol battled to a tie, this t im e in Bristol. This gam e was a nother real fi ght. b ut Salem had t he edge and th reatened to score three d ifferent t im es, whi le their own goal line was never in real d anger. In t he last of th e first ha lf. Haislip in tercepted a Bristol pass in the middl e of th e field and ra n to t he fi ve yard li ne befo re being thrown. Th e tackle was a fl ying leap from 1 behind and caught Haisli p around t he ankl es. Four down s to make five yards I t looked like Salem had to score. T\vo downs and two feet to go ! Th ere could be n o doubt. Th en th e whi stle ble\v and th e half was over. The wh istle saved Bristol t hat cl ay. Salem worked the ball close enough in th e last half to try a place kick a nd a drop kick, but both fai led, and the gam e was a nother tie-0 to 0. Th e fi nal gam e wh ich decided the champion ship was played in Roanoke and was a heart-brea ker for Salem . Th e t eam was not in proper condition to play a nother hard game so soon. and it seem ed like th e hoys lacked confidence . I t wa s th e worst gam e of th e season fo r Salem , and we made a very poor showing, losing b y t he score of 18 to 0. I t cannot be said t hai, Bristol did not put u p a good fi ght. fo r t hey played a fi ne, consistent game all t he way t hrough and deserved t o win . I t was Salem 's fi rst and onl y defeat. and out of eight gam es played durin g t he season sl1e was scored on by only one team . •I H J r.

Secretury I\ " HI n One of the most important of all the school organizations is th e Lyceum, organized in Salem High School in September, 1896. The Lyceum is a literary society intended to make the pu pils proficient in literary work such as reading, debatin g, public speakin g, recit in g, etc. The increasing number of pupils necessitates a division of th e L yce um: the Senior Lyceum for students of Senior High School and the Juni or Lyceum fo r th e Junior section. All pupils attend the meetings whicb are held on W ednesday of ever1 other week, and each pupil participates on the program durin g the school year . ,, , I The benefits derived from tb is pbase of school activities are m a n y. The literary ability of each member is cultivated and improved t o th e ex tent that some have succeeded in obtaining State honors. The debati ng team of last year was awarded t he honor of being second best in the State. A Salem Hi gh pupil won first place in the State reading contest, and the representative sent to t h e Emory and Henry D eclamation Contest came back with second honors. It is hoped that meetin gs of this worthy organization can be held m ore freo uentl y and that Salem High may continue to win literary laurels in the future as she h as done in the past. 'I Seven ty-four �(>racle The Glee Club -1 MR. L. C. ELEY, Dfrector I I.' I I I ' I ' 'Tis said, "Music washes from the sou l the dust of everyday life." Th e G lee C lub , wh ile one of the youn gest organization s in the scbool. from th e stand po in t of years, has in creased greatly. Th ere are m ore voices than in p rev ious years. An ea rnestness of purpose and int erest, coupled with a real love of mu sic, m arks all of its work a!1d bas made t his band of singers a real asset n ot onl y t o the school. but to t he community as well. In t h e fall of each year the Club gives a musical play. T his increases the in terest of the pupil s very mu ch . In t he spring, at commencem ent time, t here is a concer t given b y the Glee Club which adds very much to the commencem ent exercises. ., ••t ~ I I I '.' This year mu sic has become more a regular study in the school because regul ar class periods of fo rty minutes are devoted to music. Th ere a re three sect ions of the Glee Clu b, whi ch include all of t he m embers of the h igh school grades. The Seniors a nd Juniors have a period, t he Sophomores one period, and t he Fresh m e n , or Eighth Grade, one period a \veek. A short t im e after mid-t em1 examination s a contest was held between the Seni or, Ju nior a nd tl1 e Sophomore sections. The Sophomore section won b y a very few points. A mal e quartet was organ ized in the Sophomore section by the director. Later in life , wh en we use all we have studied, if to t hat knowledge we have aclclecl nlll sic, one of the a r ts, we shall find ourselves lifted to a higher plane, and our course of usefulness grcaler. Through it \Ve sha ll bring joy, happiness and comfort to others.

We were unmolested b y the Sophs fo r so Jon g t h a t, wh e n th ey appeared at Hurt's corner one day with paddles, we were taken wh olly b y s urpri se. We lived through this, however, and th e many trials of th e Freshman. ·\fil e passed into the Sophomore class with only a few mi ssin g from otll" ranks. CHAPTER II Hopefully, we started wading through the difficu lties of this n ew year. Caeser, as our foe , proved a very able general , but we succeed ed in conque ring him . And Geometry came to molest us. But in spite of our w orri es as Sophomores, we accomplished many th ings wh ich are t o our c redit. Am o ng th ese was t he Sophomore-Sen ior reception, which proved a great su ccess. A lso w e evened up t he old score (the hazing of th e Rats) . CHAPTE R III Having made a fin e record in the first t wo years, we ent ered t h e Juni o r class with a,11 confidence. And we have continued t o s.l1 ow our abilit y l o m eet lh c responsibilities which come t o us. We have furni shed the t eams with several p la yers.

Though meek we were, we soon settled down to hard work. We gave some excellent programs in Lyceum last year, and we regret that we have not yet organized one this year. This year we have a new principal, l\!Ir. Bruce, to whom we have shown we mean real work. This year som e of our class were introduced to Caesar by our m ost able instructress, Mrs. James. Some of these who were introduced to Caesar regard him as a friend; others are doubtful of Caesar's friend ship. We did not learn whether Mr. Bruce would permit us to haze th e "Rats," so we did not attempt it. Only a few of us had the hard luck to be hazed last year. In ath letics we have yet no stars, but have material which looks very much as if it might be developed into stellar material. \Ve arc proud to have these, who are workin g hard in athletics, as classmates. Th e "Sophs" are takin g interest in all school activities, and arc look ing forward to being Seniors in '27.

Latin Club, ' 28 ; Treasurer Shorthand Club , '28. _,-ie{ 3 4 ~ o - �'The Oracle THE CLASS OF 1928 ~STORY began with "'· " "id Balthmc, the Egyptian. " So we have no traditions." With the C lass of 1928 the official record begins with the y ear 1924, but back of that time are man y events that must now be regarded a~ traditions of our school history. Then to begin where history b egins , it was in September of 19 2 4 that approximately one hundred twenty p upils , fresh from the gramma r sch o ols of Salem and Roa noke County, entered Salem Hi gh School. To ma n y of us it was the beginning of a new school life , to others it was a marked chan ge from the seven years of elementary school history . Tb ere w ere n ew subjects such as , Algebra , Latin , Science. These new subjects had an appealing and att ractive sound, and seemed to hold the promise of somethin g with a t o u ch of the g lorious and magnificent. But the idea l is never real. After struggles w ith signs a nd conjugations fo r a fe w m o nths, many o f the contempl ated pleasures seemed to change into insurmountable obstacles. To b e in hi gh school was not what we thought it would b e, and it was not lo n g until w e b ega n to realiz e that we were merely poor Freshmen who knew litt le, and could d o less. Our second year found us few er in number , but feeli n g som nv h at import a nt as a part o f the institutio n . W e w ere So pho m o res! N ow we were read y to make history o urselves. W e tried to read Caesa r , a nd in pa r t succeeded . B ut so m e of o ur number decided that if this w as the way to ge t an edu ca tio n they preferred to remain without it. They passed out of o ur histo r y . O t h ers found other difficulties that w ere n o t all like form er a n t icipa ti ons. To be a Sophomore was one thin g, but to p er for m o ur t ask s w as a n o ther. Slowly w e b egan t o realize that task s w ell d o n e were themse lves p leasures. Then we were soon to loo k forw ard to our third yea r in hi gh sch ool. A nd n ow w e bega n to do a little thinking fo r o urselves, since we woul d soon be " n ex t to bead. " W e took n ew courage , for m ed n ew h opes a nd a nticipa ti ons. p leasures. and eve n ambitions. But durin g the n ex t summer D eath summo ned o n e of our still smaller number to the Great Beyo nd . A nd h ere w e pause a m o m ent to p ay tribute to the m em o r y of our Soph omore President , John ny H a rveycutter . W e still m iss him from our number. Our third year soon cam e , a nd w ith it new d uties and n ew p leasures. We b egan t o feel ourselves alm os t Seni ors. T h ey respect ed us , a nd we fe lt w e m ust pay h o n o r to them . But tha t year was n o t easy , as you m ay wel l imagine. �'The Oracle There were Chemistry and Quadratics, more and more parallels in English to read, games to attend , and the Seniors to entertain. But summer soon came when we received the class banner from the Senior Class. We were Seniors with ali that word implies. The summer was gone, and school days were back again. About seventy names were all that remained of the one hundred twenty. And now we felt that we were the possessors of Bacon's great desire, the province of "all knowledge ." By some means we have passed all the tests, and are almost ready to say farewell just when our love for our school is greatest. We express our appreciation and gratitude to all those who have helped us win these honors. We are in sight of our goal post. Let us move it on. Our history is yet to be written.
